Looking for Angelina (2005)
Moving, with a soft touch
I saw Looking for Angelina at a packed sneak peek screening last month and was pleasantly surprised. The story of this woman was told with such reverence, as if we were viewing her life from a distance. At the same time, the performances were so poignant that you could not help but be drawn in and captivated. It was almost haunting, and it seemed like everybody present was deeply affected. Although I live in the city where it was shot, Looking for Angelina is a story of personal struggle and the struggle of a community that everybody can relate to.
The director obviously had a clear vision for the way he told this story, and it is clear to me that he understood the culture and circumstances of this woman's life. I learned a lot about history, too. I can't wait to see it again. Bravo!
