Review of Page 73

Page 73 (1996)
9/10
a gem of black and white poetry
24 April 2001
Page 73 is an extraordinary short movie on the power of dreaming and the archetype of the quest for love. Excellent black and white photography, excellent direction by Jeff Darling and superb acting by the whole cast, it is a must see. It reminded me of the best Fellini, but it is such an original movie that it is characterised by its own aesthetics.

The story revolves around a petrol station where Danny boy, the main character, is employed. Danny likes to dream, in a claustrophobic world that does not fit him. Sometimes dreams can generate frustration, sometimes they trigger revolutions. It's all in Danny's eyes.
