Released in America cinematically around 2009, Ventnor Library adheres to its principles of high taste by issuing the almost unnervingly ‘vacummed’ and spotlessly clean movie ‘Up In The Air’.
Perhaps bringing a new level of approachable smugness to the lead role, George Clooney develops a hugely believable character as a man living a life that is almost too perfect to criticise.
Excellently directed
The work that is so excellently directed by Jason Reitman is easy enough to comprehend visually, but fortunately is determined to remain far from obviously sugar coated.
However, the premise of the film, based on writer Walter Kirn’s enchanting appeal to a work of realistic fiction, following the objectives of a company that blooms through the work of informing employees of redundancies and mixes in non-actors and actresses to achieve a grounded approach to just how hollow George Clooney’s character is, works extremely well.
American dream
‘Up In The Air’ is not essentially a definite or obvious comedy and hovers amicably above drama in a similar manner to ‘Lost In Translation’, causing it to be finely tuned and beautifully light in structure, which keeps the subject likeable on the DVD technology of smoothness that it seems essentially directed for.
The intended appeal of ‘Up In The Air’ could be too easy to criticise, as the deleted scenes included on the DVD demonstrate that the direction could have delivered an even more unusual and therefore perhaps deeper and more imaginative film overall.
Yet the appeal is to enjoy an American dream in action regardless of its determination to be merely a tad bland in the remaining third of a film that does intend to linger with attractive consideration for the escapism that realistic fiction can bring to any screen.
