Forty Shades of Blue (2004)
Director: Ira Sachs
Movie review
From Time Out New York
Sound, particularly divorced of meaning, plays a big role in Ira Sachs's film about a pensive Russian émigré (Korzun) and her husband, aging Memphis music producer Alan James (Torn). Alan's estranged son (Darren Burrows) from a previous marriage pays a visit; an affair born not of genuine love but of convenience and mutual loneliness commences. Sachs has a gift for capturing agony, but as a whole the movie functions like too many of the symbols it deploys, failing to say enough of anything.Author: AR
