    A film that is too artsy and clever for public consumption

    If you are an elitist and love watching artsy films that would make most audience members' heads ache, then have I got a film for you. ROSEWATER is a black and white student film that is filled with lots of incomprehensible story elements AND to top it off, the characters behave like non-emotive robots. If that doesn't annoy and confuse most viewers, I don't know what will! And so, as all those around you are disgusted because they can't follow the story, you can pretend to know exactly what it's all about and lord this over them. This, I assume, is the only reason anyone might want to see this film.

    To be fair, this is a student film done by a student at Temple University (you see lots of Philadelphia scenery as well), so perhaps this is just a blip on an otherwise positive career. My advice, though, is try to make a film that either will appeal to most people or at least make one that offers more than just nice camera work, as at least ROSEWATER was filmed well.
