Just finished the movie (it's on Amazon Prime). It was written and directed by Silvia Kovatchev and starred Anna Rizzo.
Let's hit the checklist: ---- Indie movie? Check. Ultra low budget? Check. Rare silent film acting by Rizzo? Check. Rizzo excellent at voiceless emotion? Double Check. Rizzo effectively manages to convey a remarkably heart-breaking moment with, of all things, operatic vocals? Triple Check! Watchable, half-way decent acting by most of unknown cast? Check. A few moments of amusing, cringe-worthy acting by one actor? Check. A simple, unapologetic, moving story? Check. Slow, slow pacing? Double Check. Compelling to watch, regardless of said slow pacing? Check. End scene worth 83 minutes? Check-a-Rama! ---- I watched the end scene several times. 'Nuff said. |
