Negative Positive
Title: WARNING: this film will not hold your hand.
Review: This is a beautifully produced film presented in a nonlinear narrative about the innocence and experience of a man (Nic) as he grows-up.To give a little bit of structure to the confusion expressed in some of the other reviews...Nic is the little blond haired boy in the beginning, Nic is at the funeral of his girlfriends father, Flashback: Nic is (almost) caught with his girlfriend by her father, Nic is the fat boy looking at the photos of dead bodies, Nic is the fat boy being taunted and beaten in the gym, Nic is the man going to the cottage with his wife, and Nic is the man in the desert shooting video...I recommend the video to the experienced art cinema patron. I did not give the film five stars because it was not overwhelmingly inspiring... it lingers with you.
