Brunswick Underground Film Festival #15
I had no idea what to expect from Drinking and Driving but besides my dear Shortbus, it became my favourite film of the entire festival. It’s hard to put the feelings to words but I just got it, start to finish I was all in, completely lost in the digital grain in which they wander through. I could hang out with them in bisexual purgatory forever, listening to trap remixes of The Glow, Pt. 2, and day-drinking.
The film captures the feeling of emptiness that you can only get at a party surrounded by your friends. I was brought to tears multiple times, which again, is not something I thought a film featuring trap remixes of The Glow, Pt. 2 could do. The final sequence set to A Quick One Before the Eternal Worm Devours Connecticut by Have A Nice Life genuinely had be transcending in the cinema, tears streaming down my face. This film just masters the needle-drop in elevating the time and place that you’re representing. 2016, Canada. Time capsule films are something I’m particularly drawn to, with the likes of Spring Breakers, fuck it, basically all of Harmony Korine’s filmography too. Authentically capturing a group of people and their setting, navigating the tree-lined gravel roads with your thong exposed.
I can’t wait for people to see this film, hopefully it connects with you all like it did me. Now, time to day-drink at 12PM. I’m serious. Goodbye.
