Film No. 55 (2017) July 28th. 6:30 PM Greater Union Event Cinema, Innaloo.
"It uses music the way the rest of us use air". (one U.S. critic's summary snap-shot).
Perhaps this is the beginning of a new style of film. A movie conducted like a symphony using genre (crime in this case) as its platform for story telling. It works but don't go if it's a taut moody thriller (Gosling's Drive) you have in mind). Baby (Ansel Elgort) is a romantic, has Tinnitus (ringing in the ears), and he owes the crooked but loyal Doc (Kevin Spacey) a debt. Each action packed scene is played out to the rhythm of the soundtrack as Baby wills himself through this fairytale in the hope of getting the girl and living happily ever after. 8GUMS.
