The Maltese Holiday (2021 TV Movie)
1/10
The Anti-Ad For Malta
5 November 2022
The fact that this movie was made is suspect. It stinks of being a tax write-off or an 80 minute paid ad to go visit the Maltese islands. Except that the movie essentially consists of interior shots of a NYC hotel, generic drone clips of the Maltese coast with sputterings of stock footage- at one point we see stock footage of a French airport (???). No idea what the point of basing the plot in Malta was, probably just sponsored as an ad, except that if I were a tourist I'd be put off visiting this place. It's cynical, lazy, cringe worthy and an insult to anyone who watches it. Also, the Maltese people are not Maltese. Talk about cultural appropriation. Il-Milied it-tajjeb.
