Pure poetry on film
4 February 2012
My brain tends to turn to mush in the presence of greatness. This makes it difficult when I want to write about something that I thought was truly great. It is so much easier to write about something that is rubbish.

Oh, well. Here goes.

I thought that "Live Fast" was terrific. It is a really great movie. Obviously it is early days yet, and there are a lot of contenders still to appear, but "Live Fast" should have been the winner-in-waiting.

"Live Fast" is pure poetry on film. From the hazy, dreamy, hopeful days of a Hollywood party (how lush a location) to the aftermath of death and a devastating "happy" ending, it is a magnificent and moving film, beautifully directed by Tim Chey.

I have never really rated the actors or understood some of their popularity.

Gary Poux has had a lot of the press over here, but we should not forget to mention the pitch perfect performances from Christopher Showerman and Eric Feliciano (sp?) who were beyond brilliant. They share as much screen time as Poux and are as impressive.

Wonderful film.

Gushing over.
