Adrift in Manhattan

Last night I was in the mood for an urban drama. I found it in Adrift in Manhattan. It is an interesting film that will make you think. It stars Heather Graham, Victor Rasuk, and Dominic Chianese.

Adrift in Manhattan is a character-driven drama about three people whose lives intersect. The first is an older Italian gentleman, Tomasso (Chianese), who runs a company mailroom by day, but is an artist by night. He learns from the second character, Rose, an ophthalmologist (Graham), that he is going blind. Rose is completely emotionally withdrawn. She separated from her husband after the death of their two-year old child. The third character is a 20-year old Puerto Rican man who lives with his dominating mother, and works in a camera store. His passion is photography. By chance he encounters Rose, and is inspired to shoot photos of her obsessively.  Heather and the young man are destined to meet and become intimate.

There is much more to this movie that make you think life and relationships. I recommend this movie.
