It’s not often one ponders the space between here and now, but in this fascinating film it seems to be: the Here is Brussels, home to the action, and the Now is how the Here is perceived by a group of young and emotionally distraught travelers. Put another way, Somewhere Between Here And Now (SBHN) is a desperately empty place, full of solitary histories, no futures and bulging backpacks. Lonely Planet, indeed.
(...) Granted, not a scintillating outline of heavy action, but this is one of those auteur efforts that represents the vision of one clever guy – Olivier Boonjing – who wrote, directed, produced, shot and edited the movie. (...)
(...) No, Boonjing’s best claim to fame in this here and now is the brilliant cinematography. From the opening montage of verité Asian scenes to the formal architectural symmetries of Brussels, Boonjing offers up a dazzling array of visual delights – both by day and night – as he effortlessly tracks the obsessive movements of his young and restless characters in their vain searches for themselves. (...)
(...) SBHN is well cast, with the camera loving the sensual face of Lucie Debay, and Arieh Worthalter plays a very convincing loser, torn between the anonymity of the road and his attraction to this unstable blonde with the big packsack. (...)
(...) Somewhere Between Here And Now. Cool name, and a cool flick. Here has been around for a long time. Now’s the moment. Boonjing shows us that “somewhere between” is a mindscape that maps out your motivations. If you get the chance, take this journey.
