Saw it last night, thought it was great. Some awesome super-subtle performes mixed with some almost over-the-top (but reeled-in just enough) performances that somehow worked beautifully together. Does anyone know if this was shot on 16mm (I should try to research myself); it looked like it might have been.
Movie explored some great themes - the attraction (both sexual and general) of things foreign to your experience and, therefore, exotic; the tension between individual autonomy and family influence; cultural and geographic tensions and barriers; and blah, blah, blah (insert more pretentious babble here).
Maybe I liked this so much because I could relate to the cultural/geographic tensions in the movie. I grew up in Tennessee and am now living in Chicago. I also enjoyed the good-natured (and deserved) jabs it seemed to take at the visual art world as an art-school grad myself. Anyhow, highly recommeded in my book. Here's the trailer for anyone interested.
