About refuge
29 December 2006
Warning: Spoilers
A pleading for all love's forms. A radiography of a deep crisis, about lost and vulnerability. About illusions and betrayal, about pardon and new beginnings. The necessity of refuge is the root of this movie. And this refuge is only manner to be yourself. It is in the self -reseach, in the grievous endeavor to self-definition a form of escape and fight with others. A way to a form of interior life who must be the only life. The father's mistress, trip to vacation house, Campbell's letters and memories, the evening's talks and the reactions given strangers, the lessons and the homosexuality are the skin of a single world of resignation. The last desire of each character is to build a real family and the price is always small.

"Rites of Passage" is, like "Ordinary People", a crisis exploration. A subtle exploration of family and his values, attempt to understand humans relationship and self desire.
