Vytautas Žalakevicius - Adam and Luce Is this movie interesting? Not once. A dull narrative, a high level of predictability, the absence of punchlines (they also occur in cinema), a low pace of storytelling. And the subject is not very interesting. Not for the first fact of cooperation Banionis and Žalakevičius to watch this film?!
But for all the shortcomings in the tape there is such an original style, charm, aplomb that it is simply impossible not to notice it. Like James Ivory or Alexander McKendrick. And indeed, the tape is somewhat reminiscent of 'Quartet' or 'Sweet smell of success'. We are shown the world of capitalism. A world where everyone is doomed. And faith is only in a mysterious deliverance. Ticket - train - Buenos Aires. It'll be different there. . .
In this cauldron and cook the heroes of the film. An awkward love line. The woman will have to go with another. But all this loses its importance before the impeccable style. Jalakevičius is too flawless in creating an atmosphere. It is as if he expanded his debut short film 'Drowned'. And it allows you to forgive a lot. Here, as with James Ivory’s tapes, it is boring and simple, but after-taste is such that I want to once again plunge into this atmosphere. And in this tape, everything ends on the train. He, she and.. Buenos Aires. There are no prospects.
