The Things We Keep (2018)
Authentic, Surprising & Shocking
This film takes you from humble beginnings to a crashing finale through a crescendo of international travel, heartache, laughter and surprise.
The film's authenticity is emphasised by the fact that it seems to have happened almost by mistake. With a shaky camera, Ale begins to document Casey and his peculiarities and stories because he seems to spot something alive and different in Casey. We begin to see his point...
As his confidence grows, Ale's camera captures Casey with the care and commitment that a biologist might have for studying a rare species in the jungle.
And yes, there's a love Ale shows for Casey as he chronicles his life and it's that which affected me. It reminded me that a special bond between two men is definitely as worthy and as gripping a basis for a story as the next "classic" romance.
