  • Young people f--ing

    This is filmed in such a way that you are quite aware you are the voyeur. Many times it seemed like the characters were going to fall right out of the screen - they were that intimate with the camera. There was intrusiveness on both sides, of the subject matter on the person watching, and the way the camera work made you feel you were observing privileged interactions. I was taken with the youthful energy of it, and thought the chemistry of the exes was the most natural. I've taken to reading screenplays of films I wouldn't watch again, to pick up information without recommitting to an entire screening.
