There was a lot that was too overwrought here, especially the lead, but more than enough beautiful moments besides. My favorite was early on the shot of the lead at the bottom of the stairs after his son disappointed him. The way the lead slumped I really liked too - I guess being static he couldn’t overdo too much. I really liked the ellipsis to after his death, but felt that the constant repetition of the shot of his photo and all the flashbacks diminished some of the power of the jump. The too-thorough validation for the lead was too much too, but I loved the progression of the drunken wake.
Something to say?
