SUMMER
Just read about this new movie in this months NYLON Denim Issue. Premiered at this years SXSW festival and now selected for The Cannes Critic Week. The film has been picked up on regular inspirations from the likes of John Hughes movies (The Breakfast Club) and has hints of (yet again) Kids, Bully, Thirteen, American Graffiti and even a small glimmer of This is England (though contrasting to it's obvious American teenage summer story). Summer vacation films are always a heart-felt hit for many people. Everyone experiences their 'summer of love'. Take Baby for example. After I watched Dirty Dancing I believed that every summer could potentially result in this runaway attitude of rebellion and first loves, and when the summer ends it's always the saddest thing. I always wanted my last days of summer to be like the evenings of American Graffiti. That act of freedom, doing nothing but riding round in cars and stopping through drive-ins. Life is so much easier when your sixteen. You just don't really know it.
