ARTHOUSE FILM NEWS - Cosmic Disco Detective Rene at Film Noir Cinema, NYC starting 7/12/24

 

By Sujewa Ekanayake Movie: Young Ali: those were the days ( official web page ) Director and lead actor: Amir Motlagh Written by: Amir Motlagh and Charles Borg 7/10 on an arthouse movies scale.  See trailer at end of review. * I've watched Amir Motlagh movies since the early 2000s. Prior to his release of his first feature Whale towards the end of the first decade of the 2000s - around 2007 - 2009.  I've always enjoyed his movies for the cinematography, editing, music, and being able to capture reality in a very honest way. Young Ali: those were the days offers the typical positive aspects of Motlagh's movies. On the downside, it could use bit more of a story/plot and or diversions, humor to work for most people. But, for fans of realistic arthouse works - like Pedro Costa movies, the movie can work well. Also the movie has a rabbit named Mr. Totes in it - very much a plus for some viewers. Some notes on the movie: 1 - Specifically what is it about? What is the movie about?
