Well, what can I say? There are films that just leave me wondering, "What were they thinking?" The cast is remarkable. The photography is interesting. The setting is marvelous. Oops, they forgot the plot. The painful meander through the dark world, written by the Polish brothers, lacks suspense and any reference to common human emotion. It resembles a 'living dead' movie without the gore. The retro props served to make it even more remote. This film does answer one question I have wondered about since I saw "Twin Falls Idaho": Is Mark Polish trying to act like he can't? I'll leave it to you to discover the answer by watching this film. It is a good study in how an idea, interesting enough to get funding, might not transfer to film.
