Review of 35 Shots of Rum (2009) by Scott G — 15 Dec 2010
Not everyone will be able to handle 35 Shots Of Rum... (get it?) but the understatement in the dialogue and subtleties of the story arc are a major win for director Claire Denis. the film is pretty slow and unapologetically melancholic, but both its speed and tone appropriately portray the tale of this father/daughter drama.
poignant in its realism, 35 Shots Of Rum is a story of change and the adjustments we all must make as life moves. told through restrained melodrama, Denis thankfully doesn't feel the need to spell out every detail for the audience, which lends this film an elusiveness that quickens its languid pace.
