Something Like Happiness
From website:
"...follows three childhood friends, now in their young adulthood, from a mid-sized Czech city. The trio tries to crystallise a role in life while struggling to cope with parental pressure on one hand and depressing physical and social conditions on the other."
Really sad film, but really good to watch. Helps to broaden one's mind on how others have to cope how little choice people have in other countries. This is the one with the dysfunctional mother and her good friend who looks after her children. The good friend's boyfriend has moved to America and is waiting for her to come to him there. The third party is the guy who has stayed in Czechslovakia and tried to be original and live by renovating his old family home. Happiness is almost reached and then taken away.
Story : 8/10
The way the director has made these three sad people interesting, and for the viewer to care about then while still providing some hope in this film is a gift of genius. It's not a higher score just cause it's a sad story.
Photography 7.5/10
There's nothing wrong with it, it perfectly captures the feel and grit of the situation, but as the situation isn't pretty so the aesthetics aren't pretty.
