The Interview (1998)
9/10
A Great Film
11 November 2007
The only reason the film doesn't get a 10/10 is that there is no such thing as a perfect film. The Interview is an amazing film. When I first saw it I thought I would get bored. I was wrong. The script is brilliant. Anyone who can write a feature film that takes place in one room and keep the audience captivated by the dialogue is a true writer. The twists and turns in the script are great, and keep the audience interested. The characters seem so real, and anyone can feel for Flemming. The ending is also great, the writer leaves the audience wondering what really happened. Such a wonderful jewel of a screenplay. As an aspiring screenwriter I truly admire the skill.

The acting in the film was also amazing. Hugo Weaving gives a great performance, perhaps one of the best I've ever seen (and I've seen a lot of movies) Tony Matrin also gives a superb performance throughout the film.

The cinematography was beautiful. The use of shadow was nice, and seeing dutch angles was nice.

All in all the film was well made all around. It's movies like this that made me want to come to film school. It's films like this that give me hope for the future of film-making.
