Subtle and Panoramic Views
5 May 2021
I loved this film. Galia Barkol "Dont Let the Night End" announces the arrival of an assured talent on both sides of the camera. In a spritely 70 minutes, Barkol presents an incredibly assured panoramic vision of Brooklyn. The humor and tension of watching her character subtly navigate the trappings of twenty first century NY is a pure joy. There's a real confidence in the restraint Barkol has in her visual approach, with beautiful compositions of apartment interiors, that showcase her characters feelings of isolation and loneliness. One image that really stuck with me was of a WC door, that hung for an extended beat, with just a single hand visible in the light. Check out this hidden gem today if you are looking for a new voice with a fresh perspective.
