House of Last Things (2013)
A unique film from a director with a new style of storytelling
I found this psychological thriller quite interesting. Beautifully photographed, the images are fresh and unique and raise the visual bar for indie films. Should they all be this wonderful.
Instead of creating story tension using the worn out clichés of blood and violence that permeates most Indie films, House of Last Things does something quite different. It uses visual, almost mystical images of everyday objects presented in such a manner as to foreshadow the hidden dangers to come.
It is purposely edited into a seamless journey of unique fractured, yet cohesive scenes, that evoke a persistent mood of dread and other- worldliness throughout the entire piece.
Michael Bartlett is a fresh new voice with this well crafted work. A director with a new eye and imagery that must be seen. Recommend Highly.
The Immigrant Garden (2001)
Recommend for Mom's and their children. Dad too. A great Mother's Day movie.
Seventeen year old Cecily Barnes learns about tolerance, friendship, and trust in this gentle 1910 drama's tale of written correspondence between herself and an elderly seed seller from England who talks with her flowers daily. Refreshing. Fun. Hopeful. Old Fashioned Story telling.
