Review of Nara

Nara (2008)
8/10
Nara shows us the fine line between reality and fiction
21 June 2009
The film Nara commences with the naivety and awkwardness of the main character Blaine, played by newcomer Dylan MacDonald. MacDonald brings to life a character who captivates the audience with his quiet and mundane way of living.

In this film, writer and director Navin Ramaswaran shows the audience how easy it is to sympathize with and detest a character all at once. Ramaswaran brings to screen a vivid portrayal of the everyday experiences of a young man trying to make his way in the world, yet who does his very best to remain apart from this very same world at the same time. This juxtaposition draws the audience in and shows us the complexities of life in a most poetic and disturbing way. An amazing film that explores the innocence and the dark side of life, a must-see!
