last night i headed out to the seattle international film festival to watch a finish film titled producing adults. but first, after a hard day of work we had to grab some dinner at a nice thai restaurant called phuket.
it was a surprisingly nice and affordable place. the food was sufficiently but not overly spicy, the decor was nice (although there was a survivor in thailand sign…) and the presentation of the meals were above average (picture of my meal hopefully forthcoming when i get them off my camera). two interesting things i noticed about this place was they had a counterclockwise clock, which if you can’t visualize it is like a clock mirrored. they also had what seemed like custom dishes, but i suspect “phuket” was an after market addition to the plates.
anyways, producing adults is about a psychologist working at an infertility clinic who has problems at home having a baby; mostly due to the fact that her bf doesn’t want to have one. so there are some goofy happening but eventually it seems that she finds comfort in another (female) doctor at the hospital. anyways, there’s a lot of moving around and not knowing where the characters stand but overall it was an engrossing movie. they did a good job (in a star trek: the next generation way) of having sub plots and tying them up at the end, although it was intriguing how they didn’t tie up the main story line at the end and left it up to the viewer. i was also happy with the fact that i was watching a movie that could actually happen in real life rather than all the outrageous stuff i’ve been watching lately (incredibles, sin city, h2g2, sw:ep3 come to mind).
overall it was a fun experience for my first time at a film festival. i was surprised at the quality of the theatre because it was an independent and not one of those “high class” stadium-seating types, the movie was good, there weren’t any talking teenagers but there was also no director at the end answering questions. i think one of the reasons for that is because producing adults was previously shown at the toronto film festival. to think that i came all this way and waited a year just to see this film…
