So, somebody tell me, is Luke Matheny actually making all those incredible bulls's eyes with his dart-throwing?? It sure looks like it. That's pretty amazing if he is! The film is kind of like the guy's random talents all in a nutshell: jazz crooning, dart-throwing, Scrabble-playing...and I suppose he probably plays the accordion, too. What a riot!
Endearing film. Has a relaxed, jazzy pace, the black-and-white works great, every actor has an interesting face no matter how minor, Sasha Gordon's score perfectly cues the impending schemes, the onset of love susceptibility, the low-key developments. Matheny has a great eye and charming imagination. And culture, thank heaven.
Check out his earlier short, "Earano", which can be seen on NYU's website. Somehow Matheny's work manages a kind of innocent idealism and decency that I thought was dead nowadays. Looking forward to seeing his feature film(s).
