Despite Laurel's general good behaviour and health, the stresses and strains of parenthood have somehow meant that it has been quite hard to relax to the point of sinking into a nice film of an evening. Either we stop because other things take precedence or one or other of us falls asleep or we are just too distractable to concentrate properly. We have managed to get through one or two in the last couple of months and hey it's about time some of life was documented again.
The other night we saw Look both ways an Australian film about tragedy and paranoia - and how we should all just enjoy it and love each other. Even when we are being bitten in two by (metaphoric) sharks or eaten up from the inside by (real) cancer.
I thought the thought-worlds of the two main characters (one a painter and one a photographer) were a particularly nice touch - the animations and image sequences neatly shift the point of view into the mind of the character and then back out into the real world. It may have been a little predicatable but in the end I found it really quite satifsfying.
