Monday Morning review
I find it fascinating when filmmakers take the leap from traditional storytelling and film technique to create something memorable. Monday Morning moved me to the point where images from the movie stayed in my head for hours afterwards (they're still in my head). These are not gentle representations of what our homeless population goes through on a daily basis. These are in-you-face and, for some, offensive. Yet they are real and they ring true - as artistic works should. Nat Christian's writing and directing come from a place of complete passion and truth and it is crafted with skill and imagination. His actors starting with Victor Browne all give very realistic performances in this small yet epic tale about a man who is on the rise, and then must dwell with the meek of the earth. What he sees and learns leads him to make a decision that caught me by surprise. Great filmmaking.
