IR Film Review: THE THEFT OF THE CARAVAGGIO [Persimmon]
The drama "The Theft Of The Caravaggio", disguised as a would-be heist film works on the context of a man searching for redemption in a situation which, even within himself, her cannot control. The film was shot in Malta which has turned into a film hot spot as of late. However this film trying to be a mediation of faith and perspective fails to connect, either visually or within a true story context
IR Film Review: CHUM [IFC]
"Chum" in many ways wants to be a play on "Jaws" with nods to "The Meg" on an independent budget. The background location set up is beautiful with Malta (increasingly pushing its film locations) built as the backdrop of a destination wedding between a lawyer and her soon-to-be activist husband. Things are not all right in paradise. But the night after the wedding, their friends rent a catamaran to lounge on the water, and hijinks ensue.
