CHANNELS affirms that love is a force to which the laws of space and time do not apply.
The screenplay brings our characters together and holds on to them, while subtly exploring what is "real", or what makes something real, or rather how we define what is "real."
Nat Christian performs the triple task of writing, directing and acting with great virtuosity.
As an actor, he is compelling to watch, always honest. Kim Oja shows a feisty side along with a sweetness that would melt anyone's heart. In a cameo appearance, Joan Van Ark sobers you up with her fine acting ability. The multi-talented Ed Asner can only be real. The scenes with him and Christian are funny and tense. Rounding out the main cast, Taylor Negron and John Kassir are consummate actors.
Director, Christian, handles his actors masterfully, giving them a healthy amount of screen time. They all deliver real performances. As a storyteller, Christian captivates us from point A to point Z. Not just going there, but taking us there.
The production design was utterly romantic. The score by Rossanno Gallante was moving.
I'll probably watch this movie once a year (maybe once every two years).
