IFFR 2006 - “A Little Trip To Heaven”
 |
One of the most interesting actors in the business for more than a decade: Forest Whitaker. Other than most black actors in Hollywood, he doesn’t need comedy or action to make his movies (even though he has appeared in those genres). It seems like he takes the money from big Hollywood productions to finance lower paying indie jobs, like Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai. ‘A Little Trip To Heaven’ seems to be another of those indie movies he likes to do..
Plot-wise: an insurance employee/dectective has to investigate an accident in which someone has been killed and things develop in an interesting way. I didn’t expect the ending, probably why I wasn’t really taken by it. The story develops at a calm pace, with great setup of main of supporting characters.
Conclusion: loved the gloomy and cold feel of the film and enjoyed the performances..
