Warning — sparkling but experimental
So experimental that it is almost unwatchable. Don’t watch it for entertainment, and it is pretty repulsive. But with those qualifications I give it full stars because it is so very brave in an effort to be creative and there are some brilliant ideas crammed into it and it can even be quite touching.If you are interested in independent experimental films, take note of this one. I would love to see what some of this talent might do in the future if given the chance and with a few years to reflect on this work. I see a lot of artistic potential here in terms of cinematography, script, direction, acting, etc. At times I thought, Ken Russell meets John Waters.
It is worth mentioning that I think some reviewers are wrong in calling this a gay themed film. True there are mostly gay characters in it. But so what? It is more about down-and- outers and the seamy side of life where money and hard breaks rule and yet where compassion sometimes has a chance. This is not to say that the story is all that important, it is mostly the way the film is “done.” I think the “low-life” gay stuff just contributes to the overall exotic and gritty atmosphere.
The short “Loopy” was a cute experimental short of the sort that would fit in well with other shorts at a film festival.
All in all, this film will only be appreciated by certain types of viewers — perhaps those who like to check out film festivals for new talent.
