Film Reviews by TP

My own fault really, I picked a film by a Director that I'd heard of but never seen before, and without really looking to see what it was. This is a dense arthouse film which relies on the viewer to fill in some big gaps in the plot for themselves. If you know the Director's themes and obsessions it probably all makes sense. If you sit down and watch it cold without having read up on it then you will, like me, find yourself heading for IMDB / Wikipedia to understand what on earth it all meant after it finished.

Had to watch this one on my own, as for some reason the idea of a critically panned 3 1/2 hour western didn't appeal to my partner. Beautifully shot, and the music was very reminiscent of the Deer Hunter. Slow paced doesn't begin to tell the story, but I thought it was watchable and pretty relevant in the Donald Trump era. I liked it and would watch it again if only I could find someone to watch with me or at least let me have the telly for the day.
