Trailer for The Song of Sway Lake. http://SwayLake.com

It's summer on Sway Lake, the most glamorous lake in the Adirondacks - former playground of the jazz-age New York aristocracy. Music collector Ollie Sway recruits his only friend, a rowdy Russian drifter, to help him steal a 78 record from his own family's estate. Ollie believes that this mysterious piece of music - recorded at his grandparents' wedding by Cole Porter's lover - was hidden for him by his father before his suicide. He believes possessing the record will change his life.

The boys' mission should be as easy as meeting a pretty girl on the water, but the arrival of the beguiling matriarch herself, Charlie Sway, changes everything. For Charlie has her own plans. And this song that hasn't been heard in half a century may possess the answer to the deepest riddles about love and death - for whichever of these three lost souls will be the first to find it.

The Song of Sway Lake is a lush romantic drama about the vanished grace of America, and the spell cast by the melodies of the dead.

Starring RORY CULKIN (Signs), ROBERT SHEEHAN (Misfits, Peter Jackson's Mortal Engines, 2018), MARY BETH PEIL (Tony nomination for Anastasia, 2017), ISABELLE MCNALLY, ELIZABETH PEÑA, and JACK FALAHEE.

Featuring vocal/music performances by JOHN GRANT, THE STAVES, and BRIAN DENNEHY.

Nostalgic, beautiful and a great watch!

THE SONG OF SWAY LAKE

Love a film that walks off the main path and out into the forest. That is not like many of its big, blockbuster cousins. A film with delicate subtley.

This utter gem from Ari Gold is such a film. Evocative and beautiful scenery play a big part in creating a magical feel. The heady soundtrack also is a key player. (Ethan Gold)

We meet Ollie and his slightly erratic Russian friend Nikolai, off to steal a valuable 78 record from his grandmother's lakeside home to make a fortune. Craziness ensues fuelled by drink and freedom. It turns on a coin though when the matriarch of the house returns looking for the same 78. If you love a film with a real story line, a deeper level storyline, you will love this delightful trip of a movie.

Very, very strong performances from all the cast involved. I was very moved by the dance scene towards the end. You may need tissues. Love moves in mysterious ways.

I'd give this a solid 10/10
