VIFF: Synching Blue

my rating: awesome

my blurbie:
this film is for advanced arty-fartsy types. here's why: zero dialogue, no plot, lots of scenes of activities that encourage the growth of hair on your palms, porn videos, and scenes that seem to go nowhere. it was gorgeously shot on film.

but i absolutely loved it.

there are 2 characters in this film: an asian guy with no apparent occupation except to masturbate frequently throughout a given day and a caucasian woman who was a synchronized swimmer but now works as a janitor at the local swimming pool.

half way through the film do these 2 finally meet up and have a relationship, of sorts.

the director was in attendance and here's some rather neat things he said:
- cinematic time and space are his characters
- he purposely disconnects people, their actions, their lives, and story because he would rather the audience participate with their own interpretations

so cool.
