1.Leo is a film made up of two story strands, one detailing the experiences of a newly released prisoner and another tells the tragic tale of a bored 50’s housewife whose life takes a downward spiral. Gradually, these two story strands weave together in a predictable fashion, but the film loses none of it’s power despite this rather obvious ‘twist’.
2.Leo had been sitting on the shelf for a couple of years untill it’s recent release in the U.K. and in my opinion it’s difficult to see why. From the stunning cinematography employed, to the universally excellent performances, it’s a small winner all round. Obviously not a commercial film but so much rubbish is dumped into cinemas nowadays there is a lot of room for films like this.
