October Country
dir. Michael Palmieri, Donal Mosher, 80 mins, 2009 (USA)
A collaboration between Palmieri and photographer Mosher's family, October Country unfolds quite slowly but precisely. It's an extremely intimate film about a particular family's particular problems. Filmed over the course of a year and beginning and ending at Halloween, the ghostly theme suggests that people whose voice isn't heard begin to feel like ghosts. ***
