BURNING HEARTS - JAMES MCFAY (2012)

I like ambitious and unusual filmmaking and so think Burning Hearts by James McFay deserves to be seen because of its no-holds-barred genre switch. It is set in Tokyo and begins with an interesting narration by a weary taxi driver. We then focus on his passenger's love story, wondering why we were introduced to the taxi driver before the love triangle between three self-absorbed European models. However, bare with the film and you will be rewarded with the kickass genre switch. It should leave you smiling if you are fan of films such as Old Boy (to which it owes something). McFay made Burning Hearts while living in Japan, having been an actor there. If you like Burning Hearts be sure to rate and share it.
