Bluefish (2003)
A poetic, visionary fable
22 March 2004 - 0 out of 1 users found this review helpful.
Lucas Howe's short films are consistently brilliantly covered, and his big heart is always in evidence. But Bluefish is definitely the stand out. The story is simple and filled with ambiguity, focusing on the relationship that quickly develops between an old inmate and a young stranger who does not speak the native language. As a consequence, the story is told purely in vision and sound, and the visions are extremely potent. They immediately recall the exterior sequences in Fellini's Satyricon, and many of Kurasawa's great films. This is gorgeous anamorphic black and white, brilliantly shot, with a genuine poetic intent. I highly recommend this film to any fans of world cinema.
