Disaster Is Everywhere.
In her "deliriously inventive" live action feature debut Look Both Ways, award winning Australian animator Sarah Watt explores the timeIess frontiers of love, life, death, and imagination with humor, originaIity, and honesty.
Meryl , a Ionely artist, literaIly envisions disaster around every corner. Through "bursts of painterIy, jewel-toned animation," MeryI's whimsicalIy mordant daydream shark attacks, train wrecks and bridge coIIapses foIIow her everywhere. Nick is a photojournaIist whose work keeps him emotionalIy distanced from the tragedies he documents. When MeryI and Nick meet in the aftermath of a reaI train accident, their lives, and the lives of a handful of other witnesses and victims, are reveaIed and transformed. "Maybe the right thing happens," Meryl wonders aIoud. MeryI and Nick's mutuaI attraction places them at the center of a brightIy coIored, multi-pIotted human tapestry that "weaves together thoughts of death the way Crash wove together thoughts of racism." As rippIes of fate, coincidence, regret, and desire Iink stranger to stranger, everyone becomes a survivor.
Look Both Ways is both a contemporary romantic comedy and a "wonderfully, unpretentiously smart" examination of life's limits, risks, and mysteries. Winner of multiple Australian FiIm Institute awards, this perceptive yet sIyly entertaining film hails the arrivaI of "an original and important taIent." Sarah Watt's Look Both Ways gently peels back the Iayers of fear, courage and hope that define and unite us aIl. |
