Play
Directed by Anthony Marciano1h 48m2019
In 1993, Max was 13 when he was offered his first camera. For 25 years he will not stop filming. The bunch of friends, the loves, the successes, the failures. From the 90s to the 2010s, it is the portrait of a whole generation that is emerging through its objective.
Our read: Play (2019) reads as a cosy, kinetic, grounded comedy entry — gentle in intensity, intimate in scope, measured in temperature, ambivalent in outlook.
Cosy, kinetic, gentle comedy, grounded in texture. Ambivalent, intimate, measured.
