A man returns home to make peace with his father before he dies. He ends up hooked up with ayoung boy looking for a father and wondering what its like to have a family.
Less a conventional film and more like a lyric cinematic tone poem that is going to work best for those who can click with its unconventional vibe. Its a film on put on my must see list for tribeca not because it was "the best" of the fest for me but because the film's unique nature is going to click with many of Unseen's lovers of films that are one of a kind and not Hollywood.
Playing like a work of literature, the film feels like a poem and the dialog is literary and better suited for the stage where theatricality is okay, TROPIC SUN AND HIS EYES cuts its own path. its a film where the images warm your heart while the dialkog gets you thinking.
This is a film you'll want to see multiple times to catch every thing. I know this from experience because I've seen it twice. Just stay with it because it can seem slow, and it may not click right away, but it will boomerang around for you, it did for me, hence the second viewing.
Worth a look for those who want a film off the beaten path that is something special.
