Lion in spring

Rating: Null/10 (29 October 2011)

Story of an artist. A life as a leaf. A lion in winter. Few songs. And a gray present. Story of a love story in new nuances. Dusty, sad, nice, with a melancholic end. Skin for Jeff Bridges art. Shadow of old cowboys and slices from lost age. A picture in earth colors, basic story about past as a golden circle and future like generous hope. Nothing new, in fact. But the warm style and the acting of Maggie Gyllenhaal are excellent ingredients for a film about ordinary questions and expected answers. Country music is only stage. Love story - crumb for a way to tell same truth and not be boring. Robert Duvall is the binder. And the nostalgic atmosphere - the glaze. A film as old picture of mythical America. Bag with its dream and its sin, its nasty hours and slovenly pieces.
