Cloro

This little Italian drama tells the story of most human lives. The 17 year old girl is forced to give up her hobby and dreams, and even has to move out in a rural part where everything is made difficult when her mother dies. She also have to take care of her much younger little brother.

The bus out of here goes every day, and is an allegory on how both easy and impossible it is to get away.

The film is subtle and melancholic and very heartfelt, and well acted. It's a film which easily goes to the core of your feelings, though it's not spectacular in any way.

A good directorial debut from Lamberto Sanfelice, well worth a watch if you like slowburners.

You can think about the French film NAISSANCE DES PIEUVRES, from 2007 and also speaking of synchronized swimming; female swimming. Not male as the garbage LE GRAND BAIN, showing men practicing this beautiful sport. But this film, now, is more social than a documentary about sport. Very. Close to a Ken Loach's atmosphere, though many films actually are. This teen girl taking charge of her little brother and daddy is moving. French films look nearly the same in the story telling and structure too..

Just couldn't get interested. If a movie doesn't catch me in the first 10 minutes I leave it. Won't waste my time waiting for something that may never be there.
