AUGUST DAYS Series: The 44th New York Film Festival [Sept 29 - Oct 15 2006] Director: Marc Recha , Country: Spain, Release: 2006, Runtime: 93 Having hit a creative block while trying to conceive a new work based on the memoirs of a recently deceased friend, Marc is convinced by his twin brother David to take a break and accompany him on a trip through the backroads of Catalonia. During the journey they re-establish the closeness that has somewhat dissipated since going their separate ways; have several brief interludes with strangers they meet along the way; and hear a number of stories, like the one about a man-eating fish with whiskers who trawls a local lake. What comes to define their time together is their encounter with a series of extraordinary landscapes, each mountain passage or river run teeming with memories and history. Part fiction, part documentary and part personal essay, August Days is a lucid and touching re-creation of a trip actually made by director Marc Recha (The Cherry Tree) and his brother David (both of whom play themselves), an experience now understood by Recha as a key moment in his artistic evolution. Screening at Alice Tully Hall, north side of 65th Street west of Broadway.
