A collection of great techniques in search of a film
First and foremost it has to be recognised that the design and execution of the sound sequences in this film are outstanding. It’s almost worth ninety minutes of your time just to listen to this film, the sound design is so good. It’s also pretty satisfying if you have a fetish for old sound equipment – all those reel-to-reel tape decks and retro-futuristic signal generators and so on. From that point of view and from the sound perspective this film was absolutely up my street. Toby Jones as the lead could not be faulted and I would happily watch anything with him in it.So what was wrong with it? Well it was sub-Lynchian without ever coming near to the pleasures and terrors of an actual David Lynch film. You can almost hear the director straining to hit the tone of a Lynch film and falling badly short every time. The script was at times very amusing but mostly it was just plain trivial or superficial. The story was incomprehensible, again not in a Lynch fashion where the very incomprehensibility adds to the mystery but in the fashion of someone striving for portentous but merely achieving pretentious.
It’s worth seeing/hearing for the fantastic design but as a film it fails to engage and it fails to be half as clever as it thinks it is.
Great sound, looks good but terrible story
So I’ve read the raving reviews, not one bad one to be found, which is odd, as I heard at least 5 people leaving the cinema tonight muttering the words ‘what a cr*p film that was’.I understand it’s a take on 1970’s horror movies, blah, blah, blah. But imagine if you hadn’t seen one?
The sound is amazing, interesting, atmospheric and amusing, (did they really make sound effects like that back then?) but once you realise that’s all the film is all about you begin to lose interest. Personally I like a storyline, but isn’t one.
As for the last 20 minutes, I have absolutely no idea what that was all about. Being a massive Kubrick fan I’d normally love surreal scenes like this. But it all felt a bit like we’ve run out of ideas here, lets just add a twist to make it more interesting. Which doesn’t work at all.
If you like self indulgent stylized films then you’ll love this. I prefer films with emotion that move you. This couldn’t move me to the exit quick enough
