Review of Columbus (2017) by Dawdlingpoet — 05 Mar 2022
This is a rather poignant and contemplative type watch, with a philosophical type feel to the musical score - somewhat 'floaty'/ethereal/space type music is played in the background at times. I liked the cinematography used - there are some nice shots of the various buildings and outdoor areas scenes take place in - there was a real sense of symmetry present, I felt.
The film is about two characters who bump into each other and slowly start opening up about things, about their family, culture, death, career hopes and other such things. It is somewhat thoughtful and while its a reasonably slow film, plot wise, it has a nice laid back sense to it which I enjoyed, even though it is somewhat serious at points.
Yes I'd recommend this film...perhaps its a little indulgent and certainly it won't appeal to people wanting constant action or 'full blown entertainment' as such but its a good film never the less - it certainly has an aesthetic appeal to it, which is a little hard to fully put my finger on.
It has quite an arty sense to it too, I should say.
