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.

Purely Joyful Movie!
If you don't like this, we can't be friends.
I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
I watched the film for the first time recently after buying the Blu Ray edition. First off, the cinematography is beautiful. Not only that, the camera catches every nuance of Sam Heughan's portrayal of the tormented character Ronny Maze. Ronny has lost his wife, Isabella, in mysterious circumstances. His old-fashioned mode of dress and ancient car give Ronny the appearance of being a man out of step with time as well as events which unfold. It's a film which is leisurely paced until the final denouement, which will have the viewer open mouthed with shock. Kudos to Suki Singh and Sam Heughan for giving us this masterly short indie film
Achingly beautiful the movie, in addition to being visually arresting, is a very satisfying puzzle. Sam Heughan is perfectly cast as the bereft husband desperately seeking his missing wife. A gorgeous example of Film Noir Suki Singh's Emulsion brings to mind both David Lynch and Raymond Chandler.The movie succeeds on the finely honed emotional depth of Sam Heughan's acting skills and the heartbreaking appeal of his nearly classical physical beauty. The supporting cast turn in very creditable performances as the puzzle evolves.Finally, I can't say enough about the cinematography; Suki Singh has created a perfectly measured dreamlike treat for the senses. If this was a book, it would be a page turner.
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.
I have seen this film twice so far and hope to see it again as soon as the opportunity arises. It's a very intelligent film with lots of clues and secrets hidden within it. It's the kind of film you want, and need to watch a number of times before you can start piecing the threads together. The director, Suki Singh, is heavily influenced by David Lynch, whose work I also enjoy. The lighting, setting and locations all add to the dark, menacing ambiance of the film. The lead actor, Sam Heughan,(Soon to star as the lead in Starz Outlander series) gave an intense, yet balanced performance, as a man trying to solve the mystery of his wife's disappearance. The climax of the film will leave you with as many questions as answers. Highly recommended.
