01/10/15 The Goob (2014)

Incredibly indie film about a young fella, Mr Goob of the title, who lives in very rural Norfolk and how he spends a summer after leaving school.

It relies far too much on the slightly pretentious, hipster film thing of being much more interested in mood than story, as such the characters are a little too oblique and you observe them rather than relate to them.

Also, I got a bit cast-confused at one point and didn't know if the blonde woman Goob was talking to was his mum or sister.

Then, realising it's set in rural Norfolk, I figured he probably didn't know either as she may have been both.

*Badum-tish!*

"Thanyouvermuch!"

Anyway, if you're into hipster films about stock car racing pumpkin farmer redneck folk, this one's for you.

As there are: "RANE" (The Wounds) of Srđan Dragojević, "TORRENTE - el brazo tonto de la ley" (the first one of the series) by Santiago Segura, "FRONT PAGE" by Billy Wilder... Would love to see your opinion/verdict.. Best, Marian. PS: RANE is rarely available but was drifting through the web with english subs as a VHS rip.
