Review of Tomorrow We Move (2004) by Walter M — 12 Jul 2008

I really had no clue what to expect with this film. In addition to being one of the world's greatest and most unique directors, Chantal Akerman tends to throughly confound expectations with her films.

This could be best described as a mannered, formalized film that tries to mix screwball comedy with sexual frustration, writers block, and maybe even the musical. It's probably best appreciated as a deconstruction of genres rather than a conventional narrative.

A lot of it is fun, but the film ends up going on way too long.
