Let’s Do It Again

Filed Under Film 

Quick film recommendation and then The Furious Romantic needs to get back to his (active!) yelling.

Was perusing the home page of IMDb for only the fourth time today and I noticed that this film, Reprise, is finally opening in U.S. theaters. I say finally because I saw it in a packed house at the Museum of Modern Art literally a year ago. The director’s name is Joachim Trier, he’s a Norwegian filmmaker, and I have a feeling that we’ll be hearing from him again sometime in the near future.

My lady love and I both came out of this film feeling very much moved. It ain’t big and bold, but it’s one of those pieces of art that just feel…honest. The direction and cinematography and the acting are all very good. It’s funny and energetic and poignant all at once (hooray!).

Go see.

    Since when do you acknowledge cinematography as a real attribute to a good movie? What happened to the Dibbs of old who believed that ‘good cinematography’ is what you say when you have nothing else to say.
