35 Shots of Rum

dir. Claire Denis
France, 2008

Nice, quiet tale of immigrant life in Paris. Lovely observation of a father and daughter relationship, beautiful shots of train-tracks and faces old and young. Not as much of a knock-out as Beau Travail, but then few things are, and this is a different type of film.

Wonderful. Full of dance, photography, memory, bodies in motion...
