Lake Tahoe
Dir: Fernando Eimbcke

****
In Lake Tahoe, Fernando Eimbcke tackles nearly every rites of passage that one adolescent could possible go through in the course of one day. Instead of it being one ridiculous/hilarious/disastrous event after another, it ponders all of life's self questions quite eloquently. Sometimes it takes loosing a parent, crashing a car and just being a friend to know who you really are. All this is explored among some truly beautiful cinematography and composition. A joy to watch.
