The 50's (2019)
9/10
Way beyond good, very stylistic
24 June 2021
Cory Ewing's short film and view of the 1950's is an artful and curious one. It tells the story of a young man (Alex Rollins) who secretly has a crush on a young man (Andrew Neighbors) he sees on the beach. He's a lustful object of desire of the other man who finds ways to ignore his girlfriend (Mikaella Abitbol).

A morailty tale about the period of gays in the closet and self repression that finds its ways of being slighly in the open filmed with a great sense of quality in a stylistic black-and-white fashion. I loved the acting, specially from the young guys, tell a lot without saying one word. It's amazingly beautiful. I'd like to see this as a feature of film, with a more layered storyline. It remind me of "Far From Heaven" but the style and the settings here went beyond the Dennis Quaid paralel storyline. There was chemistry and excitment here. 9/10.
