So yesterday was the end of the Wellington setting of the NZIFF.
In the last 2 weeks we have squeezed a few more films. Last night was a viewing of 45 Years that seems to have been a hit with all the critics:
“It’s a film of small moments and tiny gestures that leaves a very, very big impression”
plus Shaz, but not me. It left me cold; too slow and with no particular expression the important issues. I obviously missed the point.
‘When Marnie was there‘ is the film that Isaac requested. I enjoyed this animated film as did he. It was a little unusual in that as a Japanese film it had a lot of European influence in the characterisation.
During the week we saw ’71 a drama set in Ulster while Shaz and Isaac saw ‘Saint Laurent‘ which was huge disappointment. Reading the reviews after the event was a bit late which were in keeping with their experience.
