Just saw this film at the Marin Film Festival. I am still absorbing it. A fine piece of film-making.
Saffron Burrows carries the film on her splendid shoulders. She is in almost every scene. I have always respected her work. With The Guitar she stretches her wings and flies.
Much of the film is without dialog. A lot of my favorite films are. Amy Redford did a fine job of directing. Very good first effort. I hope this film finds it's way out of the festival circuit and gets a release into theaters soon.
And I hope the IFC notices Saffron's performance.
