Review of Maypole

Maypole (2008)
8/10
Fantastic

I saw this movie at the Palm Springs INternational Film Festival and it totally blew me away. This is one filmmaker who definitely knows what he's doing. I met him after the screening and he was really nice, very sexy and seemed to know his stuff, unlike a lot of other Hollywood posers who just make these stupid one-joke surprise ending shorts. It's a great film that really gets at the nature of being alive, of being PRESENT, and trusting your instincts. David Aronson is a director who's really good at just doing his thing. I really hope he continues to make films as he is someone with a talent for lighting faces to make them look really bright. The lead actress also speaks English exceptionally well which I attribute to the director's expertise. Of all the May-December romances I've had the privilege of seeing lately, this one's the most touching and acute.
