Film No. 47 (2016) July 30th. 11.00 PM LUNA Leederville.
"There's no story in a car accident, so people have to make one up." (Johna (Jesse Eisenberg) pleads with his father Gene (Gabriel Byrne) to see reason).
The introspective qualities of a film like Louder Than Bombs make it a difficult film to recommend. Reason being, there is hardly an entertaining moment but there are plenty of sharp close-ups and tight editing which exemplify the fractured lives of a family dealing with tragedy.
Jesse Eisenberg adds another immaculate performance to his CV as Jonah the elder son of the emotionally strained clan. If you are a fan then don't miss. Gabriel Byrne plays Gene, the matriarch, of the family who has never quite been "in-touch" with his sons and must begin a repair job. Byrne does what Byrne does best when it comes to serious, edgy drama, he's stoic and fragile all in one.
If I continue any longer I'll end up boring everyone as comprehensively as an elongated close-up of Isabelle Hubbert, the boy's deceased mother. Why were there so many of those close-ups? 6GUMS
