movie review - The Vast of Night
the journal of Michael Werneburg
twenty-seven years and one million words
Kokubunji, 2020.12.12
This film was a recommendation from a friend, and I was completely blown away. The story, characters, cinematography, pacing, setting, even details like the use of the many anonymous background citizenry; perfect. I was hooked immediately and found the surprising story amazing. Even the fact that I could be surprised was a nice touch. I was enormously satisfied with this thing, it was like discovering a great song you didn't know about for fifty years.
A favorite. Strongly recommended.
