This deserves to be seen

[rob-burrows1-1 · 10 May 2014]

This film was something of a surprise, and for the right reasons. It addresses the formation of a chance relationship and explores the potential of a chance encounter in a way that is both highly descriptive and quite beautiful. It is the sort of work that independent cinema excels at owing to the simple and yet deep and intimate way it relates its story. It was interesting to note that it did not follow the cliché romance type of story that is so often told. However it depicts a deep sensuality between the characters. It had and existential almost dream-world feel. This stemmed from the way that the characters fall together from serendipity without really knowing who they were. The effect was further enhanced by its 1960's period setting. This in turn suggested that the events had ramifications for the present day. This may be because their relationship could so easily stir a feeling of envy for its simplicity when contrasted with the modern and complex world. The present somehow mitigates against the purity that the characters were able to experience in the past. This is a well conceived, well directed and well acted film: A film that really deserves to be seen.

Tender Open Hearted Story of Love

[eytonshalom · 10/10 · 30 November 2017]

If you appreciate subtle film of the heart in the tradition of those wonderfully quiet French films that involve relationships between people rather than things, this film will be to your taste.

Its a tender tender story about love and relationship and maybe, too, finding your place. The acting is full of gesture rather than tricks.

The soundtrack is wonderful classical piano that fits into the film rather than over it.

The last film I saw that reminds me of this one was the fantastic Since Otar Left
