The first film of the day HAPPY NEW YEAR was flawless and I cannot recommend it highly enough. The story is of a soldier who returns home wounded and lost and finds some meaning in a rehab unit for pts suffering from PTSD. Meeting the director and actors (with hugs no less) was so exciting. And some of it was shot at Bronx General Hospital.
The next movie of the day was FIGHTVILLE, a documentary about Mixed Martial Arts. A selection for Abe. While some of it is brutal it was well made, informative and I loved meeting the filmmakers and subjects for a Q&A. Abe especially liked this film.
The last movie APART was awful. The acting was good. The editing, screenplay, background music were terrible. Story is of two teens who shared a delusional psychosis. Abe and I were confused throughout.
More to come.
