In ‘Fremont’ an insomniac immigrant’s story is skillfully told with humor and black-and-white cinematography
An East Bay city receives its cinematic closeup this weekend — and it’s a worthy one.
But the 22-year-old’s lack of sleep proves to be a big impediment, one that’s fueled by her feelings of being a stranger in a strange land as well as by dealing with her own past in her homeland. Jalali’s quirky Jim Jarmusch-like storytelling is a delight but requires that you fully surrender to it since the film refuses to conform to an obvious narrative trajectory — just like Jarmusch’s best. Case in point: When Donya replaces the unfortunate person who writes the fortunes at the cookie factory, she begins to express, in the fortunes, the absence she’s experiencing.
Zada, who had never acted previously, gives an understated performance that speaks volumes in silence, while “The Bear’s” Jeremy Allen White adds his patented smoldering tenderness to a small but crucial role as a helpful mechanic she meets along the way.
