TATTOO, A LOVE STORY preceeded by THE SEQUEL WEDNESDAY 5 NOVEMBER AT MIDDAY UGC HAYMARKET SCREEN 1
Country USA Running Time 94 mins Format 35mm Director Richard Bean Prod Stefan Davies, Mike Vukas S'play Richard W Bean, Gregg Sacon DoP David Klein Cast Megan Edwards, Virgil Mignanelli, Benjamin J Burdick Print Source Curb Entertainment E arogers@curb.com Sara, a beautiful woman with a seemingly perfect life, is shocked when a giant Harley-riding biker comes to her 3rd grade class for a show-and-tell on the art of tattooing. The disruption caused as the students begin to tattoo themselves with coloured markers starts a whirlwind reaction that jars Sara out of her well-ordered and apparently happy existence. This film is a masterful examination of a sheltered woman who begins to let down her guard and learns to live a little. The apparent contrast between the conservative and selfcontrolled young schoolteacher and the atypical romantic hero in the guise of an intimidating tattooed biker is soon shown to be nothing more than a result of social prejudices. It is much to the film's credit that the relationship that forms between this unlikeliest of couples is portrayed in a realistic manner, and this is continued right through to the unexpected ending. The acting is superb, with the sort of unique chemistry between the entire cast which is hard to find in many films. Ultimately this could be perceived as a chick flick, but it is nothing like the standard sappy nonsense one usually expects from such a film. Instead Tattoo, A Love Story is a fine example of the sort of bold scriptwriting that independent films do best. OH Richard Bean is an award-winning playwright and filmmaker who has worked on 15 feature films and over 50 short short fiction films, commercial films and documentaries.
