Review of Romulus, My Father (2007) by Juliana B — 10 Apr 2011
A beautiful slow-paced soliloquy about dedication, determination and loss. The The backdrop is the beautifully capturing the lush warm earth tones of the Australian countryside. The rich cinematography contrasts to the story of a father's life of solitude and desperation to build a family for himself and his young son.
This film is a tender lullaby about a man's love and dedication to the soil and to his son despite the hardships of his life.
I wouldn't run to see this film. Yes, it is a slow paced film and even though many viewers might see this as a disadvantage to a film, I see this as just the opposite. The word is commitment.
