The Piece of Apple Pie (2010)
Well done and well worth watching
Although this film does have a number of flaws, it possesses a strong sense of purpose, vision and direction that is refreshing. This film is made in the Dogme 95 style, which limits the equipment that may be used and amount of editing in terms of re-recording dialog and fixing sound discrepancies, which are the most objectionable aspects of the film. However, the medium is handled well. There are also a few minor aspects of the character presentation I would change, but in the end the characters are given depth and one is left with a real sense of sympathy for them. The film possesses such a clear sense of artistry, that the more technical flaws really do not bother me very much at all. It is raw and honestly made, worthy of repeated viewing and intelligent discussion. Overall, tremendous potential and an excellent first film for the director. I am interested to see how he develops in future projects.
