Well, we finally got around to the 2nd movie in our collection tonight, which was "21 Grams." This marks the first movie in our collection from the Focus Features studio.
For anyone familiar (or not) with Focus Features, it seems the goal is to make their movies as disjointed and confusing as possible, until the end when all of the flashback-y scenes fall into place and paint the larger picture. Sometimes, I have to admit, even after watching the entire film, the larger picture is still just out of reach. We really enjoy these kinds of movies (especially the 2nd or 3rd time around) as it is gratifying to figure out what has been right in front of your face for the entire movie.
We won't go into details about the plot of "21 Grams", as we don't want to spoil the experience of a good Focus Features film for anyone, but will let you in on the fact that 21 grams is the purported weight of the human soul...we'll let you discover the rest for yourselves.
Run Time: 125 Minutes
Schellhardt Stars: 3 1/2
Stay tuned for next time when our film will be lighter fare in the form of "27 Dresses."
