THE BOY in Chicago Reeling Fest : Review

“The Boy With The Sun In His Eyes” (Bangor
Films): Nothing could prepare John (Tim
Swain) for the changes that would occur in his
life following the death of childhood friend Kevin
(Josh Ubaldi). Shortly before Kevin’s passing,
John accuses him of never telling him the beginning
or ending of a story. Rather it’s “always a
headlong plunge into drama.” Little does John
know that he’s about to take a similar plunge after
he meets the mysterious Solange (Mahogany
Reynolds), a B-movie actress in low-budget Italian
horror films, at Kevin’s funeral. Within minutes
of meeting him, Solange offers John a job
as a production/personal assistant for “The Untourist
Guide,” a food/lifestyle magazine/show
she is planning to do in Europe. Before you can
say “passport,” John quits his boring cubicle
job in Boston and relocates to Paris with Solange.
Todd Verow’s film, based on the novel by
Jim Dwyer (who also wrote the screenplay for
Verow’s controversial movie version of Dennis
Cooper’s “Frisk”), makes good use of the European
locations. Verow also elicits honest performances
from his lead actors, brightening the
dark subject matter. [Gregg Shapiro]
