Proof of what was actually meant as an answer to the question; “What is the shape of the universe?” has been answered in the astounding film ‘Insignificance’.
Take a completely solid object and turn it inside out forever, indefinitely and that’s the shape of the universe.
The potential of everything in the universe existing in the minds of ‘twenty-somethings’ living in Brighton would not be apparent through viewing the truly uneventful ‘Summer Rain’. Yet this considerate idea does manifest itself as a reasonably astute theory eventually.
Surprisingly misguided
However, well-filmed the virtues of ‘Summer Rain’ may be, it is remarkably condescending as a piece of work could be and surprisingly misguided. Comparing its potential to what is a supposed film about ‘twenty-somethings’ in Brighton, it would cause even watchers of ‘Hollyoaks’ to seek depth of reasoning and maturity.
Even running with a digital camera through Brighton at night for two hours would have some artistic merit.
On a tight budget
This film seems to have serious divisions throughout its running time and offers little appreciation towards inspiring a view of Brighton that, such films as ‘Brighton Rock’, ‘Quadrophenia’, or ‘Wish You Were Here,’ managed to ascend to.
Although passable as a film made on a tight budget, there are moments that the direction is well intended, but insists on being taken seriously without perhaps being direct enough. It appears that the film makes the points that being ‘twenty-something’ is difficult, but vaguely gets around answering why this is so.
