Fun with coffins

Park City

I started writing this a half hour ago while we were in line for Save Me and then I got talking to an drunken festival goer. C'est la vie. So... The Legacy was a really cool idea. Basically it's a film about three French travelers in Georgia who, along with their French/Georgian translator, take a two day bus journey to visit a ruined castle that one of them has inherited. Early in the trip a young man and his grandfather board the bus along with a coffin. The coffin, we find, is meant for the grandfather who is traveling to the village of their family's enemies to be killed as repayment for past deaths. And then... well... you'll have to see the film for yourself. I liken the film a bit to a French version of Little Miss Sunshine in it's general quirkiness and random characters and plot twists. However, both Kit and I felt that the characters weren't very well developed and there was a genuine lack of empathy produced. But... it is an interesting look into Georgian life even if the characters are difficult to connect with.
