This Wretched Life (2010)
"Who the f**k has carpet on their ceiling?"
"This Wretched Life" is an impressive debut for Frankie J. Mosca as a film creator. To the credit of the young cast of actors, the story is engaging from the outset and I found myself anxious to discover the next wrinkle in the plot. Each character has their own monsters of addiction or affliction to deal with.
These situations manifest themselves as memorable moments of comedy and drama. DJ Sleazy's RV, a mammoth beast of a man beating up a lawnmower and a reoccurring ice cream theme are particularly humorous points in the film. The soundtrack accompanies the dramatic portions of the film so eloquently. You have to hear it for yourself; Mosca's musical placement is both delicate and deliberate.
Bravo to the individuals involved with this truly independent accomplishment. I want to see future Escape Route films! It's pretty simple to ensure this can happen.
