Spring - 3/4

I forgot to watch this after I found it online and ended up watching it two nights ago. I went in knowing it was created entirely by two geniuses and bore the typical hallmarks of their outstanding filmography - tiny cast, ethereal atmosphere intermittently disturbed by the precipice of an unseen abyss, real dialogue… Every film that Benson and Moorhead make is special for the pleasure it brings on both sides of the creative fence. The viewers get a great gift and it’s always given with a wry, knowing smile.

If anybody hated “The Shape Of Water” as much as I did and for the same reasons - watch “Spring”.
Lou Pucci is always a great choice in a dialogue driven film with dark/light running parallel through it(watch “Thumbsucker”) because he looks like he has attitude born from tragedy in the centre of his soul.

I wasn’t particularly impressed by the actress opposite him but she had a lot of disadvantages going into it so it’s a minor quibble that possibly won’t matter when I see it again.
