Reel Affirmations Film Festival Screening of LOEV

LOEV Dir: Sudhanshu Saria | 90 mins | India/USA English with some subtitles A pair of handsome young friends hit the road in a red-hot convertible, with endless miles of highway and a weekend ripe with possibility laid out ahead of them. From this classic cinema setup, India-born writer-director Sudhanshu Saria spins a seductive tale of uncommon emotional depth and power about Sahil and Jai, close friends whose indefinable bond hovers somewhere between brotherly love and capital-L-o-v-e. Is it loev, or just attraction? Beautifully shot around the stunning natural terrain of India’s Sandhan Valley and Mahabaleshwar plateau, this quintessential road movie ventures to places both poignantly familiar and shockingly unexpected, aided by a clever script and an eclectic soundtrack featuring artists from Kanye West and Pearl Jam, to Pakistani pop stars Zeb & Haniya.
