edinburgh film festival

FILM TWO : a spanking in paradise.

Well this was an encouraging experience: away from the some what portentousness of the social mixers a premier with a nervous young director shakily throwing out thank you's in a hardy scottish accent. Cheers from cast and crew at certain moments in the film , all over very well done, very scottish and very encouraging.
the subject matter -somewhat dubious, focuses its attention around a sauna- yes a "sauna" the sexy over steamy kind! A brave yet simple script about a man who is about tho move to america visiting his crazy scottish relatives for a shot time before he goes.
as you can expect he gets roped in to all sorts of hi jinx but his character manages is life the spirits a little higher than usual , even when he is covered in curry! darkly funny and very intriguing this is a young director who through his vision and comedic writing style i'm sure will go far .

For the film alone i would give it 6/10
for the premier and love tears and sweat that was obviously poured over the film ( and its general scottishness ) 8/10
