YOUTH SCRAMBLING

Today's film was Alexis' dos Santos

Unmade Beds (2009)

Argentinian director in London. Kids on their own in a squat that almost feels like the sixties. But not quite.

These kids seem a lot smarter about a lot of things including the disappointments of love.

Always on the move, mostly handheld, dos Santos follows a girl and a boy each on separate quests. Their paths cross in the squat but there are really two separate stories.

Their friends are fun and interesting to watch and one almost wants to live with the whole gang.

Lots of music, some good, some, well, young.

Very refreshing. I liked it. I liked the kids.

I will give it a 3 out of Netflix5.
