Dark Stories of living in the Capital of the UK, 6 November 2008

I had the pleasure of seeing an early screen of this movie in summer 08. This is a complex movie that has four interconnected parts telling one story of loneliness. I took it to be living in the nation's capital which can be a fractured experience.
The best segment involves the young British Star Danny Dyer. He is asked by the mother of a previous friend to help find him. What follows it a gritty expose of the underbelly of the city. I loved every minute of it and it is worth watching the movie just to see it.
Secondly there is a dark tale of a mans involvement with a person who sells love. This person is lonely and when she strike up an unlikely friendship it seems that she might finally have found a good friend.
The third tale involves a man who is depressed. He throws melons off tall buildings to see what the splatter marks. It makes you think that he is getting the nerve to see what type of mark he would make. Whilst up there he sees a woman bent on the same thing. He talks her down and then they become friends for a time. The subject matter of suicide is handled deftly by the director. It is a rather unpalatable section.
The last part is a coming of age story. I did not enjoy this segment at all. Although the women in the audience seemed to enjoy it.
This is not the happiest tale I have seen but it is very compelling. Watch it if you like good British films.
