Alexis just added two more reviews from the Denver Film Festival. You can see them on the main page here or you can read each one by clicking the links below.
Who Loves the Sun
Will Morrison and Daniel Bloom were the best of friends. They grew up together. Went to the same schools. Liked the same records. Loved the same girls. Daniel was Will’s best man at his wedding to Maggie Claire. Then one day Will disappeared without a word. Half a decade later he re-surfaces and sets off a tsunami of unforeseeable events.
Vanaja
Vanaja, the 15 year old daughter of a financially troubled fisherman goes to work in the local landlady’s house in hopes of learning Kuchipudi dance. She does well, but when the Landlady’s son returns from the US, what begins as innocent sexual chemistry turns ugly, ending in a rape – a rape of a minor. Set in rural South India, a place where social barriers are built stronger than ancient fort walls, the film explores the chasm that divides classes as a young girl struggles to come of age.
Who Loves the Sun is really an awesome movie.
