I've now seen both of Pawel Pawlikowski's big work (My summer of love and last resort) and will come to the conclusion that this guy has loads of talent. His films are not long but speak so much with sometimes, very little words. This film perhaps, is one of the best of 2004.
Mona (Natalie Press) meets a girl very similar to herself named Tasmin (Emily Blunt) and begin to bond as they learn how each others' past are very much the same. They need each other and begin to have a relationship that turns into an obsession. Each other.
Mona's brother Phil (Paddy Considine) tries to forget his rough past by finding God. Mona isn't very happy with it. This sets off sparks of jealously and rage.
Right after this film ended, I got butterflies in my stomach. Being a huge Fellini fan (la Dolce Vita is one of the directors favorite films), I was so impressed by the similarities that this film provided with Fellini's work such as La Dolce Vita, Nights of Cabiria, and Variety Lights. The Cinematography was excellent and incredibly beautiful. The performances were also memorable.
Check this film out. One of the best of th year!
