Akin’s film draws connections to suggest that maybe through these crossings, we begin to understand each other.
Akin’s approach feels so tied to novel-writing — with shifts in perspectives and at least one plot-twisting formal deceit that whiplashes you only to leave you breathless and a bit swoony — and yet the axis around which his universe orbits is entirely cinematic, and universal.
With Crossing, writer-director Levan Akin wants to open our eyes to the easily overlooked.
It’s seductive, fragmented, involving.
Observed with granular detail and imbued with a pulsing sense of place, this novelistic drama takes time to connect its central triangle but does so with a suppleness and restraint that amplify the emotional rewards of its lovely open-ended conclusion.
