Radio Cape Cod

I saw this movie the other day and was impressed mostly by the cinematography. I'm a big movie buff, and although Radio Cape Cod doesn't focus on story so much as scenery, I still think it works as the type of movie that it is (scenic, ambiguous, left open for personal interpretation). Overall well shot, well acted, well edited. Compared to more mainstream titles, Radio Cape Cod has a lack of sex and violence. On the other hand, there are certainly a good amount of comedic moments throughout. The movie has a European feel to it, slower moving and softer light. I would recommend this highly to anyone looking for a cinematic change of pace, and beautiful cinematography.

Radio Cape Cod is an uplifting summer film that focuses on the importance of relationships and harmony with one's environment. The story follows a quartet of couples over the course of five days, and beautifully illustrates how their respective relationships blossom over time. Each character has his/her own idiosyncrasies, which make them easy to relate to, as if they're your friend from down the street, or someone you knew in junior high.

Enough praise cannot be given for the cinematography in this film. The seas surrounding Cape Cod come alive with the playfulness of the waves, and the skies, alight with sunshine, smile from behind wispy clouds. Wonderful attention was given to the score as well, and the entire film has a tremendously warm feeling of a summer in love. Julian Silver is definitely an up-and-coming young actor to watch for over the next few years.

Well done!

At first it seems like Radio Cape Cod uses the natural beauty of the planet as a backdrop for the film. After several minutes you realize that the ocean, sky, and pristine beaches of Cape Cod are actually much more than scenery. From the theater camp scenes where students are learning about human energy, to the ocean waves dancing with each sunrise and sunset, you truly get the feeling that the environment is actually a character in the film. As the relationships unfold, so do the ocean waves. It is not often that we see such a remarkable perspective about every day life. The cinematography in this film was outstanding and the actors were so natural, that at times I forgot I was watching a film and felt like I was right there with them. The cast of this film delivers outstanding performances, from the middle aged female scientist to the teenage couple who were experiencing their first relationship. Oh, - and the music was phenomenal. It is not often that a film takes you completely away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and transports you to a world that is soothing, peaceful, and full of possibility. I was truly inspired. Don't miss this film. It is wonderful.

Of course living in the area, I admit to being a little bit prejudiced, but Mr. Silver's use of natural light, the leisurely pace of the movie, the sense that we are seeing real people dealing with real situations, delighted me. That the movie doesn't "go somewhere" feels true to life.

After all, other than death, there ARE no "endings" in life. We just go on, continue, stuff happens and we roll with it. The movie doesn't resolve into a Hollywood finale ... which is fine with me.

For those who must have a cinematic moment of "closure," this isn't the movie for them, but if you enjoy a movie stroll with people whose lives remind us of our own, this is a lovely, romantic interlude in a simply gorgeous setting. I loved it.

Radio Cape Code is a breathtaking movie which brings to life 4 different love stories in the wonderful scenario of Cape Cod. The connection that the spectator can feel with nature and the summer time is awesome. The dialog among the protagonists is at the same time very profound and funny. Moreover, Radio Cape Code is the kind of movie that can teach you something very important in life: to enjoy the moment, even if maybe it is going to end like the summer. To enjoy the moment and listen to your heart and be honest to the people you love. Love pervades the entire movie and let you realize which role love plays in our ordinary life.
