A good “slow” Independent American Film about lonely women
As Robert Altman’s Shortcuts this film is about different people with different linked stories. This film from Amos Kollek belongs to the new independent American cinema wave: fresh, clear and very direct.Bella is an insecure girl that works in a fast food restaurant with a tremendous need of love. Bella is very fragile so fragile that walks with the stiletto heels in order to see things with a panoramic and upper position view but with the fragility, detachment and embarrassment of a teenager. She has a periodical love-making relationship with a married man.
Three elder men, one looking for a female friend through a lonely heart advertisement, getting disappointed when the lady realizes that he has never made love in his life. The other two, very pathetic, talking and chatting about unlikely sex all the time. The mature woman stresses the fact that “merchandise is no longer valid” (at that age). The love happiness and kindness of elder people has reminded to me the Marco Ferreri’s film: “La Casa del Sorriso”.
All these stories that are linked by two common factors: loneliness and lack of love. The film has also to be seen not only for its cleverness but also to understand that in America not only commercial films are being produced.
Rating: 6/10
a warm film
This is just a sweet film. I think that if you don’t like it because it’s too mellow, you should ask yourself if you haven’t grown to be too cynical.All the people that normally only see trash as “Sleepless in Seattle” should see it. The film is romantic but not sticky, intelligent but not arrogant…
The performance of Anna Thomson (or Anna Levine as she is called here) is simply heartwarming. all the movie through, you never realise that this lovely Bella-character is an actress.
