CGiii Comment

At no point do you forget that you're watching a film...the camera moves constantly, the focus is all over the place.

Apart from the lousy camera-work...nothing actually happens in the first hour. Then, there is a glimmer of hope...alas, that potential peters out in next to no time.

As for the ending...nonsense.

A word to the director...when you feature songs in your film, try not to choose the two worst songs ever written...

A feature that should have been a short...with some brutal editing and a tripod.


Trailer...

The(ir) Blurb...

During a weekend in the winter, two young men attempt to rekindle their friendship, witnessed by a cold raging sea. BEIRA-MAR is a film about memories. When the directors met in film school, they realized they had had a very similar upbringing, sharing the same fears and similar desires. They both grew up spending their summers on the very same beach, although they never actually met during that time. Consequently, they decided to build the two main characters based on each other's experiences of when they were 18 years-old. Their film became the amalgamation of these memories, from this important moment of their lives, and ultimately a celebration of such unique coincidence.
