Harvest (Stadt Land Fluss)

A sweet and subtle tale of first love between two apprentice farmers HARVEST will speak to anyone who's experienced a time when they were uncertain about what they truly wanted out of life (meaning all of us). The film screens this evening at 6:45 in Little 1.

Sorry I was not excited about this one. The story was almost non-existent. The picture was so dark and drab, it was like watching through a dirty window.

but wasn't it fun watching ACTUAL farmers sort carrots and handle livestock?

The two "real" actors were ok, and certainly nice to look at, but Chris is right...a slow, SLOW movie with some gratuitous "art shots" thrown in just to make the film longer.

I enjoyed this movie. Gentle I found and yet powerful with emotions as the two main leads connect.

Well, I am going to defend this film. I enjoyed it.

It's true that there are some still shots in there, but trust me, I've seen worst.

The love between the two guys, even though it may not be much, is sweet....well, I just think it's a nice film, and if people don't like it screw them!

I mean screw them as in the heck with them, I'm not exactly suggesting that you....

Ahem, well, on to the next film...

I'm not going to be surprised by mixed reactions to this film. If people do not connect with what the lead characters were feeling (and the sexual tension and chemistry), they will never understand the silences and slowness of it. Just like PLAN B from last year that was thought of as boring by many, the stillness and quietness of some scenes speak volumes.

I liked the movie, but mainly for personal reasons. Having grown up on a farm, I connected more with the setting than the characters. The story line was good, but didn't fit well into the background. It was almost as if a gay romance was "overlaid" onto a farming documentary. The sheen of the transparency used to overlay the gay romance occasionally would glare or dim the documentary going on behind it.

Not a bad movie... but not one that would appeal to most unless they grew up in a rural setting.
