Being
Venice
(2012)
Johnny's
comments:
Being
Venice is a drama about a
confessional poet Venice
(Alice McConnell) (yeah,
it doesn't get any better
from here, so you can move
on) whose life is about to
be turned upside down when
her distant father (Garry
McDonald) arrives in town
to run a writing course
... oh, and visit his
daughter. Her boyfriend
dumps her, she gets caught
on a train without a
ticket and then attempts
to have sex with Lenny
(Simon Stone) while
sharing the bed with her
best friend (Katie Wall)
who just happens to be
Lenny's on-off lover and
pregnant with his child.
Venice and Lenny start
seeing each other and when
Venice hits her head on a
reef, it manages to get
her father closer to her.
All the while, Venice may
actually start writing.
While Being Venice isn't
the most enticing of
movies to watch, it's not
awful either, just mostly
uninteresting. It's hard
to care for Venice and her
predicaments and let's
face it, a poet isn't the
most exciting of
characters to portray.
Can't recommend the movie,
but I'm sure I'll see
worse and more pointless
this year.
But not by much...
