We want moments of joy to last forever, we want loved ones to stay. If only it was as simple as commanding one to "Don't Move."
A strange and wonderful Italian film starring, adapted, and directed by Sergio Castellitto, Don't Move is about love and passion, and the heartbreaking reality of grasping onto such fleeting ideas.
I didn't know much about this film before delving in, and I'm glad that was the case. This film had me expecting something completely different in the beginning and had me fascinated and consumed in the relationship by the end.
I was quite surprised by the care and attention paid to the film. Another surprise was Penelope Cruz. You'll see what I mean. I think the less you know about Don't Move before viewing, the better.
Special features include behind-the-scenes and author featurettes, Penelope Cruz screen tests, and a trailer that doesn't do the film justice.
