Review of Nocturne

Nocturne (I) (2014)
10/10
Great closing movie for the 2014 Kansas International Film Festival
18 October 2014
I saw this movie on the closing night of the Kansas International Film Festival. Having seen the trailer, I was intrigued by the imagery of what I saw and expected. I was not disappointed.

The basic premise is a mousy woman is working for a computer firm that monitors e-mails. One day she sketches a flower, and sees a co-worker make a paper flower very similar. She is intrigued, but every time she tries to talk to her co-worker, she is ignored.

As she watches his actions, she becomes curious to has actions and activities.

Thus begins an intriguing movie that held me through to the conclusion. The characters are real, even though they are in larger-that-life situations. The lead actress is great. The lead actor has a very difficult job, but is very believable.

The movie itself is quite creative. There are great moments where sound is key. Also, there are some very creative photography that is cleverly done.

The music is also of note. There are standout parts, but never did the music feel self-conscious or out of place.

I fully recommend this movie. It is probably going to be on the festival circuit for a while. If you have the opportunity to see it, you will have a great experience watching a movie about regular people in unusual situations.
