F wording impressive

Burning Man (2011)

Written and directed by Jonathan Teplitzky this film stars Matthew Goode, Bojana Novakovic, Essie Davis and Kerry Fox. A non linear unfolding of the story of angry man where we slowly find out more about him.

This film is probably best watched without knowing anything about it so it is hard to discuss without dropping even a small spoiler but what the film does tell a fairly common story in an impressive way. The plot captures some deeply human moments without indulging over sentimentality or melodrama. Some may find the non linear nature of the story a little frustrating but it is not just a gimmick and helps make this a beautiful way to tell a touching story that really sets this film apart from a crowded genre.


4/5
