Sometimes I Think About Dying

Fran likes to think about dying. It brings sensation to her quiet life. When she makes the new guy at work laugh, it leads to more: a date, a slice of pie, a conversation, a spark. The only thing standing in their way is Fran herself.

    A Real Gem
    Last night I started two different films then stopped them a minute in. Both were noisy, flashy, fast edited type films for people with short attention spans who don't want to think about what they are watching. This, despite the fact that both films were supposed to be about serious subjects. Third time was the charm. I was immediately impressed that this was the film I was seeking. It didn't hurt that within seconds I recognized Astoria Oregon, where I spent considerable time back in the 1970s visiting friends who lived there. The people I knew were kind of like the ones in this film. Some were depressed in part due to the often gloomy and damp weather. Some were townies who had adapted. The characters in this film were genuine, friendly, and realistic. It was also great seeing an actress who has been successful in popular Hollywood comic bookish films stretch her acting skills and do something of greater depth and creativity. The film made me laugh with the characters and cry with them.

    A cozy chamber drama about the most important things in life
    The cold blue shades of the movie will be throughout the entire timeline. The plot will not surprise you with its unusualness, but the themes and emotions it touches upon are more important. If you are close to such themes as loneliness, lack of love, loss of interest in life and small victories that help you move forward - this movie is for you.

    The slow, measured tone of the narrative may put you off if you are looking for a more dynamic movie.

    Daisy is beautiful. The filming is peerless, almost the entire movie can be sliced into into beautiful frames.

    Bottom line: if you're like me, a melancholic, dreamer, and lover of small, sincere indie movies - don't miss it.
