Film No 57 (2018) July 14th. 7:45 PM LUNA PALACE Leederville .
"Do you ever feel like you're waiting for something to happen but you don't know what it is, that thing that could make your life special?"(V/Over of Spencer Reinhard questioning himself during an insecure stage of early adulthood).
In Lexington Kentucky in 2004, four naive college kids shocked locals and subsequently the whole world by carrying out an ill-fated book heist (yes, book heist). Bart Layton brings a character driven drama and folds it into real life, much like he did in, The Imposter, as those who were involved talk directly to camera about their frame of mind and the reactions of others at the time. This is film making of the unique kind. Many critics have described the film as a glorification of the deeds of "goof-balls". Goof-balls trying to maintain their moment in the sun. I found the perpetrators generally remorseful and working legitimately to regain purpose in their lives. After all they paid a reasonably high price. A.A. tells a bizarre story using a unique technique. I found the film a fascinating, tense study of how ill fated some people can be. 10GUMS.
