Had a chance to see this at a small festival earlier this year. First off, I know this won't be everyone's cup of tea. Imagine My Dinner With Andre crossed with Sunset Blvd. And Eraserhead, and you'll have a rough idea of the kind of movie we're talking about. The movie fluctuates between sprawling, five-minute monologues and nightmarish visions of an endless industrial space, all hidden in a film-noir narrative. For the most part, the lengthy dialogue sequences are pretty interesting, given the tinge of madness they tend to have, but the film really finds its stride in the moments between these conversations. Overall, the cinematography is impressive to see and there are some interesting tricks and effects hidden throughout. Unfortunately, the film seems to have been made on a shoe-string budget, and there are times where you can definitely tell. That said, for the constraints they had, the filmmakers have made something new, interesting, and well worth seeing.
