A road movie, buddy picture and romance rolled into one, Low Lights pivots on a love triangle that evolves when two men and a woman take to ritual night driving. Transforming cold urban space into something charged with excitement, the drives provide the hope the trio so desperately needs. Written by Pusan International Film Festival
Low Lights is an absolutely beautiful film, shot at night whilst driving around the streets of Vilnius, Lithuania, sometimes with the car lights off. A very simple, but engaging story, with limited dialogue from gorgeous actors. It possesses a soundtrack perfectly suited to the film's different moods too.
I love photographs of urban cityscapes at night and especially use of long exposures. At times this felt like those photographs were being created in real time.
I saw the film at Leeds International Film Festival and whilst it may not be the most technically accomplished or ambitious film of the festival, it was probably my favourite!
