The Days Between

I watched the Days Between with Mahi at Cinematheque. The movie is stunning, and certainly one of the best films I’ve seen in recent years. The film reminded me a lot of the work of Wong Kar Wai, only with less dialog and latin music. The cinematography was brilliant. Everything seemed so calculated and pitch perfect. The mood throughout the film is bleak, and this is captured in the way everything is shot. The story is simple enough: a troubled girl develops a relationship with a Japanese exchange student. It’s all very self destructive. It’s a sad film. If you can find it, watch it. I haven’t been so impressed in quite some time.
