Mary Marie

 

I went to see a wonderful indie film co-written and co-starred by these 2 ladies. One of which is the Director, Alexandra Roxo, and a friend of mine.  It was the first time either had made a film, although both went to school for acting. It was a pleasure to watch and the characters occupy a place in one anothers' world that isn't easily described, which I like.

There are really good moments throughout the film and the locations chosen (luckily in the family of one of the writers) are well-used and full of rich layers. The color palette and wardrobe are key elements of any film as well and they too are expertly chosen. The Director of Photography, Migela Crosignani, was the one of the most experienced people on the team and she does not disappoint. It's beautifully shot, beautifully framed...a perfect complement to the storyline. She uses everything from spoons to truck side windows to frame her shots and utilizes every inch of the lovely rural location to present the story at its best.
