The Importance of Being Earnest

This film reminds me of the so called 'first films' of some of my favorite contemporary storytellers and directors who have gone on to make consistently great films throughout their careers. Like when I saw 'Bottle Rocket' for the first time. This film had the same sort of fresh sincerity and lawlessness that can only be achieved by a true storyteller who knows what they are doing around a camera - and the value of having someone's attention from opening frame to end. Time well spent. Hit me right where it hurts at a time in my life where I have been struggling with letting go of tough times for love of chaotic circumstances and friends. Beautiful. Tender. Intensely personal without being overly sentimental or distractingly snarky. I can't wait to see what comes out of Gurzi next.
