Hanif Kureishi wrote, "Any advance in wisdom requires a good dose of shamelessness." This is the kind of post-rationalisation that you can believe in, a concise way of giving wayward behaviour a bit more context.
However, to its credit, Unmade Beds is not so self-aware and acknowledges that if you knew what you were doing all the time, it wouldn't be as fun. And, after all, awkward is often endearing.
Directed by Alexis Dos Santos (Glue), Unmade Beds traces the lives of Vera (Deborah Francois, L'Enfant) and Axl (Fernando Tielve, The Devil's Backbone) - two foreigners living in a London artist squat - as they circle each other but don't connect.
An exercise in recklessness and restraint, the film presents them both with life-changing situations: Axl searches for the father he has never met while Vera is on the verge of falling in love again. Underlying these journeys is the realisation that, no matter how strongly we feel or how much we drink, there is always the ability to choose.
PS: As its title suggests, Unmade Beds is not the sort of film or soundtrack that makes you want to go home. Please join us at the afterparty featuring Alex Akers (Live at Midnight), Sweat Easton Ellis and Michael Ozone.
