Two Lovers (2008)
Country: US/FR
Technical: col/2.35:1 110m
Director: James Gray
Cast: Joaquin Phoenix, Gwyneth Paltrow, Vinessa Shaw, Isabella Rossellini, Elias Koteas
Synopsis:
In a Brooklyn Jewish neighbourhood, a fragile young man is still recovering from a disappointment of the heart, when fate summarily presents him with two potential objects of affection clamouring for his attention.
Review:
A cleverly ambiguous title for a film which encourages us, through Phoenix's closely observed, idiosyncratic performance, to think alternately with our heart and our head; or it could mean Phoenix plus A.N. Other. Gray makes room for all his characters, so that you really are on the horns of a dilemma as a viewer. A heartwarming tale of second chances which gets its settings just right.
