The Stroll (2003)

December 16, 2021 6:29 PM

A young girl and her two accident companions walk halfway around St.-Petersburg; they flirt and tease each other, and for ninety minutes they act out a real-time romantic drama. This stroll is full of laughter and tears against a backdrop of the hustle and bustle of the streets.

Randomly watched this on Kanopy last night. It is pretty decent, although the 'twist' ending was a bit much. It seems like they were going for a different take on Before Sunrise and then at the end decided to finish with The Graduate. I think it would have worked better just as random people walking and talking, but that's just me.

I did like the brief interludes where the camera would just randomly follow other people for a minute or two. All in all, the movie was good enough even if the cinematography made me dizzy from time to time.
