Robert Zemeckis' Film 'Here' Premieres at CIFF

The 60th Chicago International Film Festival concluded with the premiere of Robert Zemeckis's new film 'Here,' featuring Tom Hanks and Robin Wright. The film, which spans from prehistoric times to modern day, focuses on the lives of a couple living in the same house throughout decades, depicting key historical moments alongside their personal journey. Critics have noted that while the film showcases a compelling love story, Zemeckis's creative decision to keep the camera stationary throughout the entire film detracts from its emotional impact. This innovative approach, inspired by Richard McGuire's graphic novel, has received mixed reviews, with some praising its audacity while others find it limiting. 'Here' reunites the 'Forrest Gump' team of Zemeckis, Hanks, and Wright, but the film is not considered a sequel. 'Here' will be exclusively released in theaters on November 1, 2024.
