Director Goran Stolevski received his share of acclaim for his immersive masterwork You Won’t Be Alone, and he has done it again with the romantic/coming-of-age drama Of An Age. Stolevski talked to Deepest Dream about the inspiration behind the feature, which hits theaters Friday via Focus Features.
Of An Age centers on Kol (Elias Anton), a Serbian born teenager who lives in Australia. His day starts off rough when his close friend Ebony (Hattie Hook) is late for their ballroom dance performance. Enlisting the help of Ebony’s brother Adam (Thom Green), Kol is understandably frustrated of his friend’s irresponsibility (she was left stranded after partying the night before).
Kol and Adam have an electric attraction from the get go, and their banter back and forth regarding cinema and literature increases that sexual tension.
Filmmaker Goran Stolevski, inspired by such films as Wong Kar Wai’s Happy Together and Jean Vigo’s L’Atalante, crafts a movie that aims straight for the heart and soul. A universal story of first love and lust (and the persistence of memory), Of An Age is an unforgettable cinematic experience.
