A Feature Film
By Joshua Overbay
Against his wife’s wishes, a troubled screenwriter hops on a plane for the Ferrand International Film Festival to make one last-ditch attempt at selling his latest script. When a heavy-drinking, melancholic singer nearly plows him down with her car late one night, the two form a deep emotional bond that alters them both in unanticipated ways. Improvised dialogue and intimate, naturalistic camerawork lend a heart-wrenching authenticity to this bleak and beautiful character study, Luke & Jo.
