Written and Directed by: Sean Ellis
Starring: Sean Biggerstaff
and Emilia Fox
After being dumped by his girlfriend, Ben becomes an insomniac. In order to cope with his inability to sleep, Ben gets an overnight job at a supermarket, where he passes the time by imagining he can freeze time and move about freely.
This film, which is the first feature-length film from writer/director Sean Ellis, is definitely not without its problems. However, the combination of the visuals and the music make this film beautiful. An expansion of his Academy Award nominated short film of the same title, Ellis crafts a rather interesting story of an artist coping with loss and new love that is enhanced by its stunning visuals and rich soundtrack, which makes this one definitely worth seeing.
I saw this a long time ago, obviously attracted to the cover, but this was a pretty good movie actually.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed it myself. I found quite a bit of flaws in it, but I felt like the visuals, along with the fact that it was the director's first feature, were enough to overcome those and make this a very interesting film.
