Restless

*ing : Mila Wasikowaska, Henry Hopper, Ryo Kase
Director :Gus Van Sant


Tagline : who do u live for ?

The name had tricked me into watching the film. I have been feeling restless for some matters and I wanted to see what and how movie cud relate to my restlessness. However the titles can b deceptive and there is not much restlessness in the movie at all. The movie is about a young boy who is kinda loner, has a Japanese ghost as a friend, has a habit of gate crashing funerals and falls in love with a girl who is about to die soon. It is part coming of age film with sensitive handling of certain issues like loneliness and fear and grief of loosing someone special. The cinematography is lovely and so are few scenes but overall film doesn’t satisfy .
