Synopsis
Restless (2011) is a quiet, intimate drama directed by Gus Van Sant — watch it online on iFILM. Mia Wasikowska and Henry Hopper play two young people who meet at a stranger's funeral and keep running into each other, because neither of them can stop going.
Enoch survived a car crash that killed his parents and left him briefly dead. He spends his days crashing funerals and talking to the ghost of a World War II Japanese pilot. Annabel goes to funerals for her own reasons — she has a terminal diagnosis and a few months left. On the day they meet, neither says a word about any of this. Eventually they do.
Van Sant directs with the same restraint he brought to Elephant — no score swelling at the right moment, no speeches. A film about dying that ends up being about what makes time matter. Stream Restless (2011) online on iFILM.
