I'll be honest...
When I went to see the premier screening of "Hey Jealousy", I was not in a very good mood. Problems of my own dictated what I thought would be a horrible night.
But I was wrong.
To say the "Jealousy" was funny would be the last understatement of this decade. Not only did this film alleviate my terrible mood, but it expressed a profound sense of serenity.
In a story were you can't help but relate to the lovable characters, one begins to see the how the sincerest attentions can be overshadow by doubt and suspicion.
It was this astonishing revelation which caused me to study the film further. Bennett's use of light and humour are a refreshing sight of celluloid to modern and mundane sitcoms. I won't spoil the film by imposing and/or suggesting my interpretations of the various levels at which this film works on.
An ambitious and bold film that is as funny as it is important.
