Sorry to sound so pessimistic - but I have a very hard time watching many low budget films, and if I know a film is Canadian I suspect that 90% of the time I'm not going to be able to give it more than a few minutes before I give up on it ....
But Wow - I couldn't stop watching this movie. It was artistically and creatively filmed, and took great advantage of the strange beauty of it's stars, and I was hypnotized by the creativity of the cinematography.
I can't recommend this movie enough.
I was constantly transfixed by images that you just don't see in the standard mainstream films - and I just sat there in awe of the "art" of the whole thing.
And I must say the stars had a subdued and non-standard (to Hollywood) beauty about them. Valerie has always had that slightly strange beauty to her, and although she is definitely older, she still has a bit that something, and the young guy was very "pretty" - and the "non-annorexic" girl with the curly hair had this really strange attractiveness to her. She is just a hair away from being ugly - and yet quite pretty in her own slightly masculine Islamic sort of way.
And what an ending ! ....
