The Visitor (2007)I chose to not read the blurb in the film festival guide, as this had been chosen by one of my friends and sometimes it is nice to be surprised. What a great little film. Written and directed by Tom McCarthy who also did "The Station Agent", he again gives us glimpses into the lives of ordinary people.
Walter is a college lecturer who is going through the motions of living. When asked to present a paper at an economics conference he travels to his New York apartment where he is surprised to find a young couple are living, unknown to him.
The rest of the movie follows what happens when they are together. I highly recommend you splurge and buy yourself a ticket to this show - I am sure it will make you smile, and it might make you sad, but it will make you want to take up drumming. 4/5
