2014 in Review: The Best Festival Films
In continuing 2014 in Review, we look back at some of the best film festivals and festival features that were on show this year.
Appropriate Behavior – An Interview with Writer/Director Desiree Akhavan
Desiree Akhavan’s Appropriate Behavior is a very funny comedy about a relationship breakdown and the need to move on, starring Akhavan, who also wrote the film. It focuses on a lesbian relationship told through flashbacks, mirroring the structure of films like Annie Hall. We caught up with Desiree when she was in Sydney last week.
Appropriate Behavior
Desiree Akhavan’s thesis film for her Masters of Fine Arts from the Tisch School of the Arts, is a remarkable directorial debut. Made on a tiny budget, with filming only lasting 18 days, it is as surprising as it is impressive.
