I love this film! Brève traversée [Brief Crossing] was part of the Brisbane International Film Festival, I saw 23 films and this was by far my favourite! The story focused around a young (16) boy and a 30 something woman on a ferry. The two meet in the lunch line and for lack of anywhere else to sit, they sit together. A conversation starts up that lasts them hours and away we go. The film follows their discussions & then sexual relationship. Its kind of a Before Sunrise meets The Graduate. I just loved their discussions and the glances the two share - the 2 actors are sensational, they make the film work. One quote I recall (which I rather like) said by the woman 'Alice' talking about how pointless life can be: "The irony is in order to make a living you have to spend time!" ......5 stars!
