Brotherly (2008)
a taboo
31 October 2017
one of films who propose a choice to viewer. or only to ways. one - poetic, fragile, inspired images, insecure family and the links between brothers as refuge against alcoholic parents. the second, more delicate, is the incest. who could be explained in many manners. but who remains a taboo. and that does "Brotherly" a strange film. not only for subject but for the manner to show it. something missing, against nice photography, touching message. not only the presence of Paul in an interview room but the not comfortable scene of Michael depart. what is its meaning ? is it the source of interview ? sure, a good short movie uses the imagination of public. but, in this case, ambiguity is not exactly the right tool. I do not ignore the fact than the director has entire liberty to present what he wants. but the film remains an example of thin ice.
