So, I just ran across this article about British films at Sundance in my Telegraph.co.uk daily newsletter, and was reminded that I need to get blogging.
Obselidia, winner of the Alfred P. Sloan Prize, is the movie I head the most conversation about at Sundance this year, people either liked it or didn't no one I spoke to was indifferent.
I am one of those who liked the movie, overall. The characters were likable (and annoying in real ways), the emotions sincere, the cinematography beautiful and the ending unexpected.
What disappointed me about this film had nothing to do with the film itself, I thought the description in the Sundance guide was misleading. It bothers me that they use this synopsis on the film's website, though it makes more sense after seeing the movie. Based on the description, I wanted the film to be more about George's encyclopedia of obsolete things, The Obselidia, than the human relationship between George and Sophie.
I did enjoy this movie and there is a possibility that I will see it again if it shows in Salt Lake.
