NOTHING PERSONAL
Netherlands/Ireland
2009
86 minutes
A young traveler who has left her old life behind and doesn't want to tie herself down to any one place or person accepts the offer of a man living alone in a remote Irish cottage to help him tend his garden. Mesmerizingly shot, deliberately opaque two-hander whose plot unfolds through the exquisitely modulated silences, tempos and the two leads' performances; shame about the ending, though.
A Rinkel Film & TV Production presentation/production, in co-production with VPRO, Fastnet Films and Family Affair Films, with the support of The Dutch Film and Video Fund, Cobo and Bord Scannan hEireann/The Irish Film Board. (Dutch distributor, Cinema Delicatessen.)
Starring Stephen Rea, Lotte Verbeek.
Directed and written by Urszula Antoniak; produced by Reinier Selen and Edwin van de Meurs; music by Ethan Rose; director of photography (Ilab, Colour by DeJonghe), Daniel Bouquet; art director, Jane English; costume designer, Bho Roosterman-Vroegen; film editor, Nathalie Alonso Casale.
Screened: distributor advance press screening, UCI El Corte Inglés 12, June 2nd 2010.
