Looking for Lions (2014)
Haunting and Romantic
This movie is a haunting, gripping portrayal of innocence and love. It alludes to noir while not over reaching and I appreciate that as an avid film goer. Looking for Lions is sanguine and elegant. While not for the tame of heart, it is very much for any heart.
Todd Julian's puppy eyes have a chemistry with Chelsae Gillian that puts Edward to shame. And we're not talking about a love story. Looking for Lions is about sacrifice. Without giving to much away, I was tearing up very early on during the film. Some love stories are short. Some are epic. Some love stories aren't about love at all but about the sacrifice that it takes and the feeling therein. And there's something so haunting (almost ghostlike) about those kinds of love stories that resonates so deeply with me when I go to the movies.
