Review of 35 Shots of Rum (2009) by Chris Z — 19 May 2011
This is a wonderful little film about touch. It's a moment in a 'coming-of-age' story, but with the focus leaning more towards the 'coming-of-old-age' fears of a father. A simple, occasionally clumsy, but ultimately great little film the way the French make these kinds of movies, with not much going on, but stuffed with the enormous space to find our way into the lives of these people as they think and love and worry.
The layers here are unspoken, appear simple, but given all that space they seem to go on forever.
