Mai fu (1997)
A Comedy? I don't think so!
I don't know what is wrong with me, but I don't think this film is a comedy. Sure there are a few funny parts, but not enough to justify allocating it a comedy rating. Having said that, I did really enjoy this movie. It reminded me of the movie Mannekin Pis.
The Book of Life (1998)
We've had Hartley at length, here he is now in short.
The Book of Life was rather like a short snack, whetting the appetite for Hartley's next full length movie.
This movie doesn't need to be seen on the big screen, watch it with a few friends who are Hal Hartley or Wayne Wang fans, or better still, try to convert some newbies.
Elevated (1996)
Elevated, a short film from the director of Cube
I saw Elevated and was immediately reminded of a movie I had recently enjoyed, Cube. After a check on IMDB, I was pleasantly surprised to find out they both had the same director. Like Cube, Elevated is a movie that bears thinking about in the days after the viewing. I'd recommend it to anyone who liked Cube, as well as movies like Dead Calm, and Death and the Maiden, which have a small cast and limited set changes.
