Goodbye, Petrushka (2022)
Heartwarming
I finally got a chance to see, Goodbye Petrushka a film written and directed by the talented Nicola Rose. Ms. Roses film is quirky and heartwarming it explores the growing pains of Claire, a film student, as she moves to Paris. Claire's Paris experience is not all she expected, the bureaucracy of officials and brattiness of the children in her care is too much for anyone to handle. Claire handle it with a sense of dignity and pride. In Paris, Claire is surrounded by a group of offbeat characters that appear superficial but are all facing their own challenges. I loved the relationship between Claire and her best friend Julia, Julia's sense of adventure perfectly complements Claire more cautious nature. It's beautiful to see how all of the caharachers grow.
Nicola Rose did an amazing job building the characters in a funny, eccentric completely human and relatable way. Well done, highly recommended.
