TOTAL FILM

BLUE VALENTINE is the story of love found and love lost, told in past and present moments in time. We meet Dean (Michelle Williams, Brokeback Mountain), a young couple living in small town Pennsylvania with their daughter Frankie, just as their marriage is unravelling. Dean is a high-school dropout making his living as a blue-collar worker – he has many creative talents but no ambitions beyond being a good husband and father. Cindy has always had ambition, studying medicine for years, and is a dedicated nurse on the verge of a promising new job. In a bid to rekindle the flame before it’s extinguished entirely, Dean and Cindy spend a “romantic” night together in a motel. But as so often in life, coming to with an end means revisiting the beginning, which is the journey this poignant, beautifully performed film takes us on, moving back and forth in time, back to their first meeting and whirlwind courtship, allowing Cindy and Dean, and us, to take the true measure of what is being lost.
