PLOT SYNOPSIS<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Movie star Elizabeth (ALLISON JANNEY) takes her paramour Peter (CHRISTIAN CAMARGO) to her lakeside estate to visit her family during Memorial Day weekend. There they meet up with Elizabeth’s ailing brother (WILLIAM HURT) her artist son (BEN WHISHAW), his ethereal muse (JULIET RYLANCE), the family doctor (JEAN RENO), the estate’s custodian (RUSSELL MEANS), its careless caretaker (MICHAEL NYQVIST) and his wife (CHERRY JONES), their temperamental daughter (KATIE HOLMES), and her long suffering ornithologist husband (MARK RYLANCE) who’s the keeper of the sacred land where a bald eagle is trying to raise its young. Over the course of the holiday weekend, a disastrous turn of events leads the family from dysfunctional to heartbreak and ultimately, salvation in this tragicomic examination of the volatile and fragile nature of love.<\/p>\n

SPECIAL FEATURES \u2013 2.5\/5<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Audio Commentary<\/span><\/strong> \u2013 Writer\/Director\/Actor Christian Camargo sits down for a generally simple but on-point track with his style choices, working with the cast and the story on the whole.<\/p>\n

Deleted Scenes (7:26)<\/span><\/strong> \u2013 We get seven scenes that were either cut down for removed. There\u2019s nothing of note, however.<\/p>\n

Behind the Scenes (3:03)<\/span><\/strong> has some basic footage of making the movie.<\/p>\n

Interviews (19:48)<\/span><\/strong> \u2013 Interview footage with members of the cast and crew are featured.<\/p>\n

\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Days and Nights<\/em><\/strong> is presented with a 1.85 anamorphic widescreen transfer which looks fine featuring nice colors. The disc also comes with a standard Dolby Digital 5.1 track which serves the film well enough with decent dialogue levels and some ambient noises coming through the rear channels.<\/p>\n

OVERALL \u2013 2.5\/5<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Overall, well intentioned for sure but ultimately Days and Nights<\/em><\/strong>, written and directed by Christian Camargo, is a fairly dull film with some OK acting from a nicely put together named cast; despite the talent involved, it just was not an engaging flick.
