I have to applaud Hosseini's directorial debut. "The Two Faces Of January" takes us mostly to the 1960's Greece, with three main characters in focus.
Beautifully shot, this visually stunning period-piece (if I can call it that) relies on story and characters rather than trying to impress with extravagant plot twists and special effects. The narrative is very well balanced and restrained from the hyperactive traps of modern cinematic storytelling.
Good acting from everyone involved and my compliments to the music composer too, for providing a very fitting soundtrack.
This is classic film making. Nothing innovative but very beautiful to look at, a fitting choice to watch on a lonely evening.
