Emulsion (2014)
EMULSION tells the story of a dejected salesman who is inadvertently drawn into a dangerous blackmail scheme that forces him to fight for control a life he never thought was worth living. Painting a murky film noir world where no one is exactly as they appear, Emulsion follows Dane Allen as he evolves from an utterly forgettable cog into a potent activist who brings the powers that be to their knees. It is a story of discovery, manipulation and the never-ending struggle between complacency and self-actualization.

Beautiful, moving film.
Awesome Movie
It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Something is very unsettling in Ronny Maze's world. We follow him as he tries to unravel the mystery - and no more plot points can be given because you deserve to see the entire story unfold yourself. This award-winning indie film is a must for anyone who loves unusual Lynchian mysteries. Everything moves very deliberately and with an exquisitely rendered tension. The haunting score is the perfect backdrop to the mystery. Sam Heughan's performance as Ronny is mesmerizing, and he is filmed here beautifully, each line of his chiseled face registering tension and softness at once. David Ajala is wonderful as a restaurant owner who befriends Ronny. Emulsion is the kind of movie that makes indie cinema so rich and rewarding. It will haunt you for a long time. And as in all my favorite movies, you will definitely need to watch it twice and see what you missed (or didn't realize you missed) the first time around. I got my DVD copy at http://www.emulsion.TV/
Not usually a fan of this genre however the twists and turns that lead the viewer to the story's resolution makes this a satisfying experience. The plot keeps you guessing as you are caught up in Ronny Maze's distress played so deftly by Sam Heughan. This is one of those films that is worth watching again and again because there is always a hint or a clue or a well-placed prop still to be discovered. Visually it is subtle enough to convey the sense of alternate reality with the pops of color reminding you that something is afoot. A challenging and interesting journey for the viewer with excellent acting of a full range of emotions by Sam with a no-frills production that delivers. Still thinking about the aftermath of Ronny's experience and whether anyone actor can walk away untouched by the parts that he/she plays.
An intriguing and beautifully shot low budget film by director Suki Singh. Having seen this movie twice I can still say that the mystery of the character Ronny Maze and what happened to his wife Isabella kept me engaged throughout. The lead Sam Heughan does an excellent job at conveying the tortured emotions of Ronny searching for his wife. The lingering shots and choice of music fits perfectly with the dark, brooding intensity of the film. It has a satisfying ending but retains enough mystery that you will still be asking questions afterward. Interesting characters and a clever plot makes this a must see British film.
*****Possible Spoilers****** Was lucky enough to attend the Scottish premier of Emulsion recently, and I will admit I went originally because of Sam Heughan and purposefully had not read or watched anything in advance that could spoil my enjoyment on the night.Well, wow - what a great surprise. Focusing on Ronny Maze's search for his beautiful wife, who mysteriously disappears in the middle of the night it just flowed seamlessly. Twisting and turning throughout the film and leaving as many questions at the end as at the beginning!It was atmospheric, moody, fantastically well acted and surprising. The costumes, lighting & locations all perfect.I thoroughly enjoyed it and the Q&A at the end with both Sam and Suki was an added bonus. I hope this film gets the exposure it deserves and wish Suki & all the very best of luck
