Pawno
A day in the life of a dusty old pawn shop in the Melbourne suburb of Footscray, 12 individuals’ stories unravel before the world-weary owner. The raw humanity of the characters comes alive through strangely moving vignettes – an odd street singer, a duo of homeless wackos, a couple working in the local bookshop – all enmesh in Paul Ireland’s directorial debut to produce a colorful, giddy ensemble piece. Great soundtrack and winning performances.
Australia, 2016 (89 minutes)
