Description

In "The Blue Hour," several strangers in Los Angeles weave their stories of loss and hope, not knowing that their lives have brushed up against each others in small but sometimes profound ways. A multi-ethnic ensemble drama, the film explores the connections between a Mexican graffiti muralist, an Armenian camera repairman, an African- American Blues guitarist and an English pensioner living near the Los Angeles River. Happy is a talented teenage graffiti muralist with a passion for spray paint and Hip Hop. Her playground is the concrete banks of the Los Angeles River. While painting a mural of her trademark Payasa, a sad-faced Lady Clown, she encounters Sal, a mentally challenged homeless man who attempts to make contact with her. Unable to communicate with Happy, Sal then crosses paths with Avo, a vintage camera repairman living with his wife Allegra on the East Bank of the river. Their apartment overlooks Happy's Payasa mural near the area where their 4-year old daughter Heidi recently drowned. Since Heidi's death, Avo and Allegra have not spoken. As Happy toils on the Payasa, Avo attempts to reconcile with his wife in the wake of the family tragedy. A block away from Avo's apartment, Ridley is a struggling blues guitarist staying in an old hotel by the river. He has returned temporarily to Los Angeles to care for his mother. One night, Ridley hears an enigmatic voice coming from somewhere inside the hotel. Haunted by its mysterious presence, Ridley sets out to discover the source of the voice, running into Sal in the wake of a hit-and-run accident. Humphrey is an aging pensioner living in an apartment overlooking the 'islands' in the river. One morning he wakes up to the sound of Sal screaming on the sidewalk. Having recently lost his wife Ethel, Humphrey spends his days eating lunch by her grave, a few feet from Heidi's resting place where he sees Allegra. Unsure when his time will come, Humphrey readjusts to everyday life, crossing paths with Happy as...

The Los Angeles River--destitute, paved, forsaken--is the cradle of L.A. life. Centuries ago it sustained Native Americans, then lured Spaniards, then finally birthed a metropolis that sprawled and morphed so extravagantly that people forgot where it started from.The filmmaker Eric Nazarian, in his magnifcent and subtle feature, The Blue Hour, restores the river to its rightful place in the soul of the city. Weaving together four disparate tales along its concrete banks, Nazarian gives us something Hollywood often seems incapable of conjuring: the authentic L.A., the misperceived L.A., the L.A. of ingenuity and survival and heart, the L.A. of the trenches and margins. Through his lens this forlorn body of water is timeless and universal, our common ground. It is the giver and taker of life, an oasis, a temptation, a canvas, a hideout, the wellspring from which all the city's dreams and losses flow. With only a few minutes of dialogue on this hour-and-a-half DVD, The Blue Hour is all about what is left unsaid, the truths that collect like silt in our bones.Despite operating on a shoestring, Nazarian reels in a surprisingly accomplished cast, extracting performances--including a grieving, and ostensibly Armenian, Alyssa Milano--that defy their popular images. It is easy to see why such proficient actors agreed to put their faith in him. Nazarian has created something gorgeous and haunting, lush and spare, intimate and epic. The Blue Hour aches in all the right places, and offers comfort, a hand, a caress, just when we need it, too.
