Review of A Nocturne

A Nocturne (2007)
1/10
Awful Movie.Avoid like garlic!
25 September 2008
I was unfortunate enough to watch this movie,at the Athens International film festival,at an after hours screening,with the director present. Normally this would be an awesome night,but not today.

The movie was so slow-paced that bored you to death and the dialogue was so out there,that even after reading the subtitles I couldn't understand what the characters were trying to say. The story was incoherent to say the least,and secondary characters seem to only pop in to say or do what they have to,without really any explanation why they do it.

In terms of production,the movie seems like something you would shoot with your typical mini-DV camera,without any help from a professional.

Overall I have to say that for a 70 minute movie,it had me staring at my watch hoping it would end soon enough. Others were not that patient though.In the first 10 minutes of the movie,at least a dozen people had left. Sure,the program for the festival,described it as a "philosophical vampire movie" but I can't really blame them,since the director himself said before the screening that that is how he wants his film to be described.I guess it's a matter of opinions.He says 'philosophical vampire movie" I say BS.
