MANNVANUARY THREE, #9:
A fantastic and involving mix of '60s social realism with the stylishness of the French New Wave. Reminded me a great deal of Linklater's Before films, and I have to imagine it's an influence on them in terms of seeing a relationship between two characters build in what feels like real time.
