A pinch of movies, rain and Kylie Minogue

Another American film, inspired by two people who the director happened to spot on a crowded Manhattan street, Jack and Diane is a story about two young girls who are drawn to each other but cannot entirely sustain their relationship.

The film has a cameo by Australian singer Kylie Minogue.

Lore played to a packed hall and got an overwhelmingly positive response from the audience.

Diane, the younger of the two girls, is going through a transitional phase of adoloscene and is unable to fully explain her confused emotions. Here, the maker employs a unique technique where a deformed monster is fleetingly seen -- that is a supposed channel to the chaotic feelings of Diane.

More than following a stringent plot, the film tracks the emotions of its characters as they evolve in their relationship. The theme here is the universality of love and also the challenges of sustaining it without complicating matters. The film has sincere performances by actors Juno Temple and Riley Keough and heartfelt music makes the understated liasion even more profound.

Ellen Page was initially considered for the role of Diane but later backed out due to schedule conflicts.

On the rather surprising casting of singer Kylie Minogue, the director said that he met her at a New York cafe. After he explained her part, sheseemed excited at the prospect of acting in the film.
