Synopsis
Breathe In (2013) is an American drama directed by Drake Doremus — watch online on iFILM. Sophie, a British exchange student, moves into the upstate New York home of Keith, a high school music teacher who shelved his dream of playing cello professionally years ago.
Guy Pearce plays Keith as a man quietly suffocating inside his own routine. His wife Linda, played by Amy Ryan, has built a stable, pleasant life around him. Their daughter is about to leave for college. Then Sophie — Felicity Jones, understated and precise — walks in, and everything that was held together by habit starts to come loose.
Doremus shot the film largely through improvisation, the same approach that got him to Sundance with Like Crazy in 2011. The result is intimate and uncomfortable: a portrait of a mid-life crisis that refuses to assign blame or offer resolution. Stream Breathe In (2013) online on iFILM.
