2010 CINE-CITY BRIGHTON FILM FESTIVAL
HIROSHIMA – (7pm – 8.30pm) Adult: £5.50
A festival award winner HIROSHIMA is the debut solo feature from Uruguayan, Pablo Stoll. The film is dedicated to Juan Pablo Rebella with whom he made the widely praised WHISKY in 2004, which won an array of prestigious awards before Rebella’s untimely death in 2006.
Described as both a hyper-realist and surrealist slacker film, Stoll follows his brother, Juan over 24 hours as he meanders through his day to day liftestyle. After his night shift in a bakery and subsequent late start to the day, he encounters friends as he cycles around always listening to music on his discman and locked in his own world. The soundtrack weaves through post-punk, grunge and techno and is both Juan’s form of expression and connection to the outside world; muted interactions between the characters appear in the form of intertitles as in a classic silent film.
