Double Solitaire

About This Movie

Double Solitaire is this fascinating little documentary that pulls you into the lives of Norm and Stan, two Japanese American brothers. They seem like your typical guys, just into bowling and cards, but there's this underlying tension that emerges as they reflect on their childhood in the Amache internment camp. Corey Ohama really captures their stories with a mix of humor and nostalgia, but you can feel the weight of history lurking just beneath the surface. The pacing is relaxed, almost like a gentle conversation over a game of cards. It's not flashy, but the authenticity of their experiences and the way they navigate their identity is really distinct. There's a rawness to their performances that just feels real, you know?
