Many feature movies do not deserve,do not justify their length.They make'em too long;so,there's a lot of junk inside.Such movies do not really need more than 45' to say all they are meant to say;the rest is simply junk,ugly stuff.(They do not rely on time,but on the viewer's docility.)It's vanity to try to give a 45' story as a 100' one.I like the long show that needs to be long;but I don't like being fooled by a jerk who does not need more than 45' to tell his story and takes 100' as if the public's time was his.
"Carpenter Street" works as I like it to work.It take just the time it needs:as much time as is needed.It is concise,supple,well-thought,lucid.
It's interesting to compare the time travel in "Carpenter Street",and those in "ST IV" and "ST VIII"."Carpenter Street" is grim,somehow sinister.In "ST IV" and "ST VIII",the sets were crowded;not so in the nocturnal,dark "Carpenter Street".
