Loss and despair connect four troubled souls in two intermingled, alternate realities.
I have spoken of underrated films before, but Franklyn definitely gets the cake. I watched it almost ten years ago, and so much I wanted to talk about it with someone who had watched it as well. But no one had. And to this very day, hardly anyone still has.
With exceptional intellectual ability, Gerald McMorrow is the artistic mind behind the camera who writes and directs something as unique as Franklyn. Despair, escalating to delusion, paranoia, and schizophrenia, all fester the human mind and soul, shape people’s fate, and twist (?) the concept of religion. In front of the camera, Eva Green, Ryan Phillippe, Sam Riley, Bernard Hill, and the late Susannah York will hold you spellbound with their performances.
I want to share two strong elements in the film: the perception’s immense power and the father’s unconditional love.
Franklyn is art. And like any other form of art, it examines the world through its own prism. I guess it is up to us to examine our world through our own life’s prism.
