It's been a rough few years. First Tangerine Palpatine, then COVID-19, then supporters of The Orange Traitor stormed the Capitol seeking to actually kill VP Pence, among others. Lies continue from the right. Our forests are burning and our cities are flooding.
I could go on and on. As you well know.
Wanna feel wonderful? Wanna forget your cares for a bit. Would you like to cry,...tears of joy? How about a smile that feels like it stretches from ear to ear?
You can rent Carlos Lopez Estrada's achingly beautiful, SUMMERTIME on Amazon for only $3.99!!!
I've seen it sixteen times.
It's Linklater's SLACKER meets Altman's SHORT CITS, with 21st century sensibilities. If you know those two films you'll understand that. It's a spoken word musical. It's a poetry jam. It's ninety or so minutes of pure joy! The actors perform their own poems as part of the "plot" of the film. There's a dream dance sequence. It's multicultural and so very, very real.
That is all.
