Review of Distant Voices, Still Lives (1988) by Martin T — 27 Apr 2010
The structure is a series of brief episodes, in a rather unchronological order during the first half, and more linear in the second. It's an intriguing set-up but the subject matter is so familiar that it doesn't feel as fresh as it should.
What stands out more is the use of music, as these folks are constantly entertaining each other or getting their minds off some unpleasant business by belting out a tune. All in all, it didn't knock my socks off, but it's a good film with strong performances.
