Going to the theater to see the premier, I came in with a completely open mind. The theater was nice and cozy, there was a great reception, and the director and composer being there to answer questions was an amazing experience.
The actual film, which was a short short film (short film with no dialogue), was moving. The film was based off of the Picasso painting of "The Old Guitarist" while adding a personal twist on the painting, following a love story.
Spoilers: The film follows the old guitarist reminiscing on his past life with his wife. They meet in a park while he is playing his guitar. They fall in love, get married, and all seems well. However, they begin to argue and eventually split up.
The performance by the actors were incredible and especially the amount of emotions carried in a silent film was great.
The end of the film sits on the old guitarist, crying, as he has a vision of his wife as she approaches him. She touches his heart as his arm shoots to his heart, representing to me, a heart attack.
The film ends just as quickly as it started, as and the music adds as much as the acting. The composition was incredible as every string of guitar synced with the scenes of the film. The highs and lows of the scenes work well with the highs and lows of the composition.
On a personal note, being able to meet the director and composer of the film added a lot to the experience as they were such nice people. They answered so many questions about their experiences making this film, as it was such a great start for the director's first film.
In the end, this was just a great experience that I wish I could experience again with a fresh mind. I loved the film, I loved the people, and I loved the experience. 10/10.
