Like Cummings, the Gaudioso Twins combine genuine charismatic personas with exceptional talent as both actors and filmmakers.
With The Ghost and the Whale, they have crafted a deeply personal, empathetic and thrilling drama that takes a man's struggle with loss, memory, and mental health and contrasts it with a dogged reporter, turning over stones he shouldn't, in relentless pursuit of the truth.
There is sincerity ringing throughout, a reflection of both the core values of the filmmakers and the grounded, yet still wonderfully surprising, script by Anthony Gaudioso.
These are filmmaker's filmmakers, and actor's actors. As a nod to the Bodega Bay shooting location made famous by Hitchcock, Tippi Hedren makes a memorable cameo. Johnathan Pryce is at his philosophical and whimsical best voicing the whale. Anthony Gaudioso is a bombastic and provocative villain, and James Gaudioso is the lightning rod that grounds an electric ensemble.
This film is an early work from filmmakers to be reckoned with now and for years to come.
