BEFORE TOMORROW
Watchable. A powerful and moving story of resilience, set in an exotic environment of the Arctic where any rush decision may result in death. Some scenes, including an underwater one, are beautifully shot. Having said that, it's more of a series of images rather than a coherent story.
The talk preceding the one-off screening at Canada House highlighted that nowadays anyone can make a movie but few can get it distributed. Couldn't agree more. The stunning independent Japanese film "Thunder Fish" was shown at 2008 Raindance Film Festival only because a scheduled film had to be dropped due to its pornographic contents. The makers of the "Thunder Fish" masterpiece struggled to get it distributed even in their own country. Hardly fair taken how many generally released movies are too rubbish to sit through the screening.
