"Lovely, Still" - movie review
“Lovely, Still” is a remarkable film, enrapturing from beginning to end. The scenes are mesmerizing and the score is enchanting, slightly reminiscent of Danny Elfman’s style, but less dreadful, more evocative. But the real beauty lies not in the visual or the audible but someplace deeper within. It is the heart of this movie that resonates with me.
The tagline is “Something mysterious, new, unexpected and lovely is happening to Robert Malone”. And Martin Landau portrays this “something” with an authenticity to be praised. As Robert Malone, an elderly man who lives alone and works at a local grocery store, Landau breathes life into the character and gradually draws you in. There are moments of sentimentality in the film that will touch your heart, maybe even make tears well up, but there is also humor and love and joy as well, creating a flow that is extremely believable, understandable, relatable.
Like all masterpieces, the film takes you on a journey. It creates intrigue, builds suspense, develops into a conflict, and finally, exposes some crucial bit of information that was intentionally omitted so that, once reveled, it all comes together in one swelling, “ah ha” moment of realization. An epiphany and a conclusion that will reach inside and touch your heart.
