In the supernatural horror film "Brooklyn 45," directed by Ted Geoghegan, a
group of war-weary friends, scarred by their experiences in World War II, gather
at a friend's apartment. Clive, whose wife recently committed suicide, convinces
them to participate in a séance to contact her.
As the séance unfolds, the film becomes a meditation on grief, the
lingering effects of war, and the struggle
to adjust to peacetime. Each character grapples with moral ambiguity and ethical
compromise, haunted by their wartime actions. Geoghegan delves into the
complexities of their lives, highlighting their friendships and the emotional
bonds that hold them together.
Amidst supernatural occurrences, the film explores the ghost of innocence and
certainty lost during the war. Ultimately, "Brooklyn 45" is a haunting portrayal
of combat trauma, denial, and the struggle to find meaning in a post-war world. |
