Jenna Suru stars in this beautiful movie which she boldly wrote, produced, directed. An incredibly ambitious film with a myriad of magical locations from the historical Notre Dame before its dreadful fire, the LA, and Saint Tropez.
It just looks gorgeous throughout, and captures the zeitgeist of the Sixties era where love and music prevail. The movie has a very French feel with the two lead characters teasing out eachother's thoughts and ambitions, with provoking sequences of dialogue. They are faced with tough choices and torn between ambition and love.
A movie which clearly expresses the joys and freedoms of being an artist, in particular, an actor, and also the constraints and dilemmas of whether it is possible to maintain artistic integrity in the world of show business, and to stay true to yourself and your partner, when the carrot of success is dangled.
To watch The Golden Age is to immerse yourself in a dreamy world, to feel the painful decisions of the characters and to explore the gorgeous locations to a soundtrack from the Sixties. A very unique film, and a triumph for Jenna Suru who radiates charisma on screen in the lead role.
