Write a book..., 31 January 2007

If you're interested in studying the technique of shot/reverse shot in dialogue, check out this title; 90% of the film is dialogue between 2 people sitting and just talking.

The story has absolutely no direction. There is no motivation in any of the characters beyond just coping with an experience, there is no antagonism anywhere to be found except for internal antagonism. The plots are in no way related to each other and the "film" is filled with non-scenes that have absolutely no excuse for being in the film.

This film is so horrific it is not even funny. My advice to the director and screenwriter: Stay away from film. Film is obviously an alien art form to you. Write a book.
