Review of 35 Shots of Rum (2009) by Suzannah F — 11 Jul 2009
Denis' newest can been seen as an homage to Ozu with it's so loving portrayal of a father and a daughter's relationship. Here Denis sets her non-dysfunctional family in a Parisian apartment complex where the pieces of the family's past take shape in the form of current residents.
Denis allows the story to progress at a smooth pace never forcing the drama and in turn allows you to see all of the character's motives behind their decisions. Easily the best film Denis has done since 2002's "Friday Night".
