silver haze
Immediately requested to be a screener after watching trailer, this film seriously caught my attention. It really does that with opening scenes (fucked up best describes it). But, in a good way, raw and very real / believable. Had to watch it 3 times (with breaks in between) for review. Each viewing knew I missed some details or essential parts / aspects. Trust me, you seriously have to pay attention to entire film. Will explain later.
Silver Haze tells a story about Franky (nurse) and Florence (suicide attempt survivor).
A story we view every day either in media / social media or real life. Merging main plot with surprises / supporting stories / twists / raw emotions. Conflicts within characters and these aspects draw you in from the start. One of many questions here. If Sacha Polak (director) / Vicky Knight (Franky) / Esme-Creed Miles (Florence) drew from deep personal experiences during the film or for inspiration?
The drugs / sex are essential to plot and character development / backstory. Opening scene gives you a hint at Franky's past. Both seriously help with the raw / real feel of the film. Both make characters feel like people you see on the street / may even know.
Seriously pay attention part: Honestly, don't remember ever viewing a film that jumped around this much. Almost like a highlight reel leaving numerous questions. Examples: are both Franky and Florence bisexual? I know, why even ask? At one point early in film: Franky just wants to find a normal guy and states she is not into girls. Next scene she appears attracted to Florence. What pushed Florence to the point of suicide? Gaps / highlight reel part, was anything important left out? Or is it only unnecessary / boring parts of story? Off the top of my head.
Silver Haze transcends story of 2 women in a relationship. You are, at points, seeing yourself in situations regardless of sexual orientation / gender.
Silver Haze is one review I could easily turn into a short story. Different stories / aspects / important subtleties / sometimes hidden meanings make this one of the most complex films I have ever experienced.
Wrapping this one up:
Silver Haze forces us to realize a few things about ourselves / other people. Including: how we hide experiences / emotions / parts of our lives and who we are. Making us look at interactions, regardless of level, from the outside. How even a simple choice can change the lives of others. This is short list. Franky and Florence can easily be seen in people we know. If we are completely honest, look in the mirror.
