Walking to the Waterline (1998)
The epitome of a classic independent film -- Nothing short of incredible!
15 November 2006
I caught this late one night on the Independent Film Channel, and I was bowled over! A small but totally honest film that pulls no punches. The main character's inability to make a final decision reminded me of the Jack Burden character in Warren's "All The King's Men." Also, I loved the metaphor of the once-noteworthy but now largely forgotten, ultimately hollow Lucy the Elephant mirroring his own present stage of life. Well-acted all around, but Alan Ruck's needy, irritating next-door neighbor nearly steals the movie! I can't say enough good about this film! The only reason I gave it a 9 instead of a 10 is that, dammit, SOMEBODY needs to get busy and release this gem to DVD...PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!!!
