Afloat

Just saw this movie at the mostra Valencia, a mediterranean movie festival, which is celebrating its 38^th edition and s becoming an important festival.

Afloat is as Mediterranean as it gets, Besides mesmerising beauty of the Egean sea, the contradicting temperaments of the Mediterranean wife versus the Anglo Saxon husband is so apparent.

Afloat is a slow burning family drama with a very solid script, character development and prime acting to back it up is the strength of the movie.

Altough filmed in very tight spaces, you never get the feeling of.claustrophobia, on the contrary, there is a certain openness.to it.

The queston/anwer part at the end of the movie was.very satisfying and entertaining. The director, who directed her own father as an acting debut, could be proud of her casting choices.

Afloat is a strong candidate for the jury prize of the Valencia film festival.
