Claire Denis, long known for her subtle, fluid and intriguing movies (Beau Travail is best known to U.S. audiences), sets her story in a Paris suburb: a widowed metro conductor, approaching retirement, lives with his beautiful grown daughter â the object of a neighborâs romantic interest. The manâs former girlfriend also lives in their building and plays a role in their closely-knit lives. 35 Shots of Rum considers the mysterious complexities that surround evolving relationships, whether romantic or parental. It is that rare movie in which the plot is driven by what people
say and what they hold back, the meaningful pauses between words, a significant glance, a sexy outfit, a thoughtful gift. In other words, it holds a mirror up to life as it is actually led. --© Film Forum [Less]
