Artsy from Scud

Think one really needs to appreciate films by Scud to understand the artsy feel for his films. Love, different styles, connections, friendships, heart and soul, all coming together with a good cast in a dreamy body of work. The two leads are natural together as they find their way through steamy sequences, drug concerns, a battle with old demons, family issues, and tolerance, set against the 2008 financial crisis. Both main characters find themselves in each other, worrying about each other, appreciating each other. Both learn from the other with perhaps too little dialogue making the plot drag in places. Settle down, focus on the development of their love, and enjoy.
