Customer Reviews of Surviving Desire
Simply awesome! The first I watched this film, it created a sensation that could not be matched with other films; Martin Donovan is terrific! Blending a deadpan stylistic along with a creative script, this film is a must!
Ever Been A Human?
I laughed, I cried, I thought it was and is brilliant. Oh yeah, I fell in love with Martin Donovan. Hal Hartley saw inside my brain with this film. Jude (Donovan as college professor) falls for Sophie (his student), Jude (upset with himself and his life) is irritated with pal Henry for getting kicked out of college and getting "..a job in a bookstore".
Literary references, lust, cool music, spontaneous dancing, woeful action, marriage proposals, reality from the mouth of a homeless woman in red rubber boots... you recognize the characters as more than people like people you once met or now know, you discover yourself. So get it already!
Poetry Disguised as Film
Poets with an appreciation for life above the poverty line wisely select more frequented media like music, movies, or monology as their vehicle. The life of the most celebrated poets are still awash in Ramen and rent. Hartley's films are dense with pause-rewind-replay a line dialogue almost to a fault. I used to take myself as seriously as Hartley's roster of misfits sporting designer melancholy personas and crippled by philosphical dilemmas that serve as a nappy gnarled dreadlock for the movie to comb out. I loved Hartley's fims in my 20s. Now 39 I revisit with some wincing but not enough for me to change my mind that this and his other films are filled with true human wisdom and many revelations put into words for any willingly troubled liver of a non-illusion buffered life to intend to jot down but not find a pen within reach.
