Williamstowne (1998)
A Return To Movies With Heart And Soul
To say I was shocked would be an understatement. From the very beginning frames, I new I was going to be transported to a place I had never been or had not been to in a very long time. This place ended up being myself. A visit to that stuff deep inside that we either deny or push deeper.
Even though the story is about a ghost returning to a half life to be with loved ones, one can't help but immediately reflect internally. Its about me, its about all of us. Love, life, death, all those things we don't really talk about any more; let alone feel about at the deepest roots.
Williamstowne is an intensely personal movie going experience that best be served with the lights out and the volume on your sound system turned to 11.
If you feel things deeply, i highly recommend this film. if you rate the quality of your movies by how many explosions there are or how many times the car flips in the air after avoidable staged collisions, then view elsewhere.
I loved it so much and was so grateful for its expression of humanity that it is not even appropriate to discuss the film in minutia. It defies all usual classifications. The actors all do their jobs with special applause to the beautiful Deni Deloria. The cinematography; eat with a spoon. The music; well the music is the film, exquisite.
