THE SONG OF SWAY LAKE
Love a film that walks off the main path and out into the forest. That is not like many of its big, blockbuster cousins. A film with delicate subtley.
This utter gem from Ari Gold is such a film. Evocative and beautiful scenery play a big part in creating a magical feel. The heady soundtrack also is a key player. (Ethan Gold)
We meet Ollie and his slightly erratic Russian friend Nikolai, off to steal a valuable 78 record from his grandmother's lakeside home to make a fortune. Craziness ensues fuelled by drink and freedom. It turns on a coin though when the matriarch of the house returns looking for the same 78. If you love a film with a real story line, a deeper level storyline, you will love this delightful trip of a movie.
Very, very strong performances from all the cast involved. I was very moved by the dance scene towards the end. You may need tissues. Love moves in mysterious ways.
I'd give this a solid 10/10
