Puzzling in parts but entertaining
OK this is a solid Arthouse film. A coming of age story about a young gay boy embroiled in a poisonous relationship. Shot in Glasgow there is a lot to enjoy from a cinematography point of view. Dreamlike landscape shots combine with extreme closeup shots to create a quite atmospheric film. Sillars as the eccentric Artist cum ex-psychoanalyst excels here in a film that is based in static location of his flat.. He portrays Albert as a both a whimsical and slightly tragic figure as he struggles with his own demons whilst helping a young man overcome his own. Due to the main gay theme in the film, many will dismiss this as a cult niche movie, yet there is something more amongst the sharp dialogue and the spaces in between. A couple of surreal or dreamlike (?) sexual scenes towards the end of the film seem a slightly unnecessary signposting of the messages the film was trying to convey, but fortunately don’t wreck it. I’d watch it predominantly for Sillars in his film debut performance of Albert. One can only hope the calls come in for him on the back of this for more roles and screen time.
A message somewhere in this one
This one is for the avant-garde crowd. It’s full of strangely odd but likeable characters. The plot is both obscure and obvious.My advice is to watch this for the dialog, which makes sense and nonsense, at times. Nothing is really gained by movies end. It is like the opening where the two boys go to have sex — behind a sign above a highway. Moral of story – life passes by even when hiding.
