Salomea's Nose (2014)
Evocative, subtle and deeply moving.
Former editor Susan Korda takes the well traveled road of editors moving into the directors chair with her first narrative production, Salomea's Nose. Spanning several decades it's clever story keeps surprising with each beautifully modulated turn. Instead of telling her audience what to feel or think, writer/director Korda uses the acting, production design and cinematography to allow the audience to find their way to the films heart. In a time where one joke or idea has become not only the norm but the requirement, it's inspiring to watch an artist try and succeed in making a film that allows its characters lives to be complex and understandably while never diminishing the mystery that finally defines life. And like all really masterful work the film stays with you like a half remembered dream.
