Seventeen: Body Language & Identity
7 October 2020
Monja Art shows promise with this film's camerawork, emphasis on body language. It's subtle, but great at the right spots. Whether its hetero or homo situations, creates an erotic tension between characters.

The story is on a regional Austrian location, showing teens in their mundane school activities plus their social life. It is slow moving drama with a matching, moodful, almost "Neo-Emo" feel soundtrack.

Its cast works fine, but doesn't hit those dramatics, if it means to show teen angst, it's just not there. Art's does have a stylish flair, future film work will mature with this superb debut.
