Aug 30, 2021 A vividly sensual film incorporating dance with dialogue which produces commentary input that dares to challenge the societal standards, stereotypes, and common views of gender. Aviva takes us on a rollercoaster ride through the ups and downs in a relationship of two lovers but with an interesting twist. This film is ambitious in its storytelling and extremely exquisite in its choreography. The film's ambition causes the story to get lost at times yet Aviva remains as a unique and fresh take on a classified "dance" film and most definitely worth your time. See more May 4, 2021 This film is a real innovation in film making. It involves a relationship between a young couple getting to grips with life. One is a film maker in paris the other a young american male. the story seems to start with an internet relation before the couple move to meeting up. Then the Points of View become more fluid as is the representation of each individual. sometimes seen through an identity of the character played by another actor sometimes of another sex. Sometimes they appear as two different people( different aspects of themselves) There are alternative scenes of life. Direct talking by the actors to the screen, breakdowns into dance or expression through movement. Sometimes the actors appear as if off set. Nudity, graphic sex breaks downs artificial barriers showing people as they really are. you know you going to see something profound as soon as the film starts. it is an absolutely brilliantly imagined piece of pure perfomance art, the actors really have step beyond themselves to be this bold on camera and yet selfless. Possibly more than any other film I can see imagination in story telling go beyond excellence. See more eric d @RT64965991 Jul 4, 2020 Worth it just for the music and dancing. See more Jun 12, 2020 A story of love and loss that so sp perfectly ingrains the dance as part of the soul and conversation and moving the story forward. It was heightened each relationship and their day-to-day with heart,d desire, and soul that words couldn't express. The gender fluidity and bending for each character highlights the masculine and feminine in all of us that we should embrace and love.
