‘Borges And Me’ Review: A Literary Road Trip

AI-synthesized · Bias removed · Facts only

Marc Turtletaub’s film ‘Borges and Me,’ screened at the Edinburgh Film Festival, is described as a smart, literary, and playful road trip set in the early 1970s British academic world. The review highlights an emerging trend of films focusing on this specific environment.

The review notes a visual paradox present in these films: young people exploring the world within settings visually defined by the habits of previous generations – specifically, nicotine stains from chain-smokers. This creates a unique aesthetic and atmosphere for stories unfolding within British academia during that era.

The article points out that this growing number of films set in the “stuffy British academic world of the early ’70s” could potentially warrant its own genre classification due to their shared characteristics and visual style. The review emphasizes the film’s intelligence, literary quality, and playful approach to storytelling.
