The Dig

 
 

This movie arrives as a sweating glass of iced lemonade on a sweltering afternoon. You’re instantly struck with the loveliest cinematography and the subtle tones of a piano. What ensues is well paced story which watches like a book softly read out loud. Ralph Feines and Kerry Mulligan are superb. Their chemistry feels genuine. Feines’ honed Old English accent is one rarely heard today, save for old audio recordings of those long dead. If computer animated movies where alien life forms battle robots is more your vibe, this film may be not for you. But if visual poetry and prose perfectly capturing a lost moment of time is more your preference, watch The Dig as soon as you can afford the time.
