"Camera Store"

Certainly one of he more unusual movies I've seen. It's about a traditional camera store at a mall, just as digital photography is coming on the scene. Two older gentlemen have worked there for ages. The entire movie takes place on Christmas Eve day and evening and seems like it could have originally been a play. As the story unfolds, we get the back story of Ray, the general manager, and we see why he's such a bitter person. Several other stories are interwoven, and as depressing as it was, I couldn't stop watching it. Sort of like a terrible accident where you just can't look away. The film is obviously dialogue heavy and almost nothing happens. But the writing and acting are superb. Just don't watch it over the holidays!
4 out of 5 stars
