Even as it nakedly steals its structural conceit from Tom Tykwer\u2019s Nineties trendsetter \u201cRun Lola Run\u201d \u2014 a film made before 24-year-old writer-director-editor Freddy Macdonald was born \u2014 this is a debut feature strange and singular enough to attract its own keen following, with its blend of folksy small-town hijinks, nasty neo-noir tension and literally crafty comedy, centered around a heroine who calls to mind MacGyver with a pocket sewing kit. Some will thrill to the film\u2019s silliness, others may find it a joke stretched beyond elasticity, but it\u2019ll have many putting a pin in Macdonald\u2019s name. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Eye-catching if hardly substantial, \u201cSew Torn\u201d is quite obviously expanded from Macdonald\u2019s 2019 short of the same title: an already auspicious calling card that was acquired by Searchlight Pictures, got the  filmmaker signed with UTA, and made him the youngest director ever accepted to the AFI Conservatory. The feature-length version still feels studenty in some respects \u2014 Macdonald\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">script<\/a>, written with his father Fred, has a blunt tendency to speak and repeat its core thematic points \u2014 but stands out for its technical agility and poppy storytelling verve. Already well-received at SXSW in the spring, this Swiss-U.S. co-production just had its international premiere in Locarno\u2019s populist Piazza Grande program: Genre-inclined indie distributors will surely investigate.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    \u201cChoices, choices, choices,\u201d intones protagonist Barbara (Eve Connolly) in voiceover at the film\u2019s outset \u2014 a mantra that we\u2019ll hear several more times as the narrative keeps doubling back on itself and branching out anew. Inviting the viewer to judge her own choices in the story to follow, she wonders: \u201cWould you pity me or see my lack of morality?\u201d Most viewers are likely to do neither, at least not before asking several more pressing questions. For starters, why are we in a verdant Swiss Alpine valley where nobody is Swiss, and everyone speaks English? (Macdonald moved to Switzerland with his family as a child, which at least provides some outside context for the setting.) What year is it, exactly? What\u2019s the deal with the sewing? Is this movie for real?<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Yes and no, it turns out \u2014 though Barbara, with her solemn, wholesome demeanor, certainly takes matters very seriously. Orphaned and alone in the world, she has tried to keep her late mother\u2019s mobile seamstress business afloat, in accordance with mom\u2019s dying wish, but is finally on the brink of admitting defeat and closing up shop. (Turns out in rural imaginary Switzamerica, there isn\u2019t much call for the business\u2019s signature service: cross-stitch \u201ctalking portraits\u201d with inbuilt audio. What a world.) A lone remaining client, haughty middle-aged bride-to-be Grace (Caroline Goodall), hires her to adjust her wedding dress, but when a crucial button goes flying \u2014 and Barbara, in a fit of pique, throws it away \u2014 the seamstress must drive back across the valley to retrieve a replacement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Cue a splintering of the narrative, as the unplanned drive sees Barbara stumble upon an as-yet-unreported accident and crime scene on a quiet bend: two motorcyclists critically injured in the middle of the road, a torn-open bounty of cocaine streaking the asphalt, and a briefcase full of cash lying beyond either biker\u2019s grasp. Surveying the damage, Barbara concludes she can do one of three things: steal the loot, call the cops, or simply drive on by. \u201cSew Torn\u201d proceeds to methodically relate the fallout of each option: Outcomes vary, though each brings her into contact with psychotic gangster Hudson (John Lynch) and plain-speaking elderly sheriff Ms. Engel (K Callan), and places her in some manner of jam from which only her expert needlework can free her. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    It\u2019s these deliriously contrived setpieces that prove both the film\u2019s greatest absurdity and its <em>raison d\u2019\u00eatre, <\/em>as Barbara works spools of thread into elaborate pulleys, restraints and cat\u2019s-cradle traps \u2014 at one point darting through a tangled maze of cotton in a dizzily choreographed combat dance, set to the vintage Betty Hutton musical number \u201cThe Sewing Machine.\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    \u201cSew Torn\u2019s\u201d thriller trappings are a mere pretext for this heightened dream-whimsy: The characters are so abstract as to render the life-and-death stakes of the plotting close to incidental, though Connolly is a sufficiently endearing presence to keep us compelled by Barbara\u2019s erratic movements, if not their far-fetched moral consequences. With an assist from Sebastian Klinger\u2019s saturated, primary-colored cinematography and Viviane Rapp\u2019s cozy, era-blurring production design, \u201cSew Torn\u201d conjures a kind of adult toytown in which time and mortality can be altered, casually ripped apart and stitched back together. If Macdonald can apply this blithe redesign of reality to bigger ideas and bolder story silhouettes, he may well be the next big thing. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
