Tchoupitoulas



A Very Unusual Film
This fine, verite-style film traces the adventures of three teenage brothers who take the ferry to New Orleans for the evening and miss the last ferry home, so they have to stay in the city overnight. Their experiences become more ambiguous and dreamlike as the evening progresses, and you can almost sense their feeling of physical tiredness, in the the always-surreal environment of New Orleans. I have not been able to get this film out of my head since I saw it in a theater - many thanks to Amazon for making this masterpiece available to everyone.

Quirky Film About Boys Out All Night with Their Dog
This film was unexpected, unassuming, and 'real'. I was soon smitten with the boys, and was worried about their well-being. I certainly hope letting your children roam New Orleans til midnight isn't what they usually do, but I have to admit I had fun tagging along with them as they explored abandoned buildings. Sweet.
