Foreign Lovers

A beautiful short film for the fine balance between the parts defining it. Good looking actors and their good performances, the inspired romance, the air of old fashion tale and the nice atmosphere. And, off course, the end. Well crafted can be a reasonable definition but it is not exactly enough in this case.

Are we all morons out here to accept both indifferent acting, minuscule subject matter and what seems an upbeat ending ? 17 minutes is an awfully long time to just watch men drifting and searching in New York, pretty to look at with the ' romantic ' snow falling at the end. There is an air of self-indulgence in these kind of short films, and they show no depth of feeling despite all the sweet words. One is an American, the other Italian. And there is that obscure desire for ' love ' in the air. This is part of ' Heaven Can Wait ' number 20 in the Boys on Film collection of shorts. Who do they intend to please with such marshmallow centred films ?

Gorgeous, romantic, lush, sentimental you name it. I f you love romance, this movie is for you. Both leads are solid actors and extremely likeable. So enjoyable. I hated for it to end. More from this filmmaker and actor please!
