QUIET CITY DANCE SEQUENCE

I finally got a chance to watch Quiet City, by Aaron Katz this evening. I was thinking of posting the trailer for everyone to watch, but I thought I'd rather share one of the best scenes. A mixture of strangers and friends dancing before a party.

I enjoyed Quiet City more than other films like it (i.e. mumblecore) because I felt more of a connection to the protagonists. In Joe Swanberg's Hannah Takes the Stairs, Hannah is lost emotionally. Jaimie in Quiet City is physically lost. She arrives and the friend she is supposed to stay with isn't picking up her phone (something we can all relate to these days). Charlie has been unemployed for two months and spends his time fiddling with music. So when these two lost people start hanging out, boy it warms my heart. Warms my heart on a cold New England night. Available on DVD and friggin Netflix.
