This was the first film i went to see and the best out of the lot!
my first impression of the film was wow! Beautifully shot. beautifully lit. beautifully written . Poignant , thought provoking and heavily moving.
What was the film about? well i was bound to like this as it was more of a emotional exploration than a story heavy film. it was a character study on someone coping with depression and also trying to deal with loving someone who has depression as well. it still wrapped beautifully around a believable plot.
Shot on film which gave that brilliant unattainable depth allowing for smooth but at the same time textured feel. the darker moments is when film shines, were you have to push it slightly. in the bedroom with the candles and the fairy lights the screen glistened with flickers and shadows it was gorgeous.
The editing was very european, holding onto shots , having 'pause' moments which focus on objects and close up on hands. It was un-obvious and without special effect, it organically moved the film forward.
My favorite scene composition wise was one at the end were the character is contemplating drinking a lethal drink that his overlly emotive girl friend has made up for him. The lighting apears ambient- which i beilieve is geneouse D.O.P.ing! its a beautiful and inspiring scene which represents the movie as a whole really well, time tacken over every detail: superb acting combing with a near perfect script, beautiful cinematography and a thought provoking , worthy subject.
i left the screening speechless, moved and inspired.
9.5/10
peace
