Who and what forms us in our lives?
Spinning Reels examined an aspect of that question when we screen Little Men, a story of two boys who meet during their formative years. The two boys are quite different when they are thrown together: Jake is a quite, introspective artistic child, while Tony epitomizes the slick, fast-talking, charismatic New York kid of stereotype. The boys become fast friends until their parents have a falling out over a piece of shared real estate.
With stunning photography of New York as backdrop, this is a sensitive, engaging, nuanced look at society and how we all interrelate-both the good and the bad- through the metaphor of the two boys and their parents.
