Quest for Boredom - Quest for Love review by DS
What might have made a run-of-the-mill half-hour episode of The Twilight Zone is stretched into 90 slow minutes. The main character is called Colin Trafford, and somebody or other says 'Colin Trafford' every couple of minutes. By the end of the film you will not have any doubts as to whether or not his name is Colin Trafford. In the climax, Colin Trafford runs around an airport an awful lot, which is by far the most exciting part of the film. More modern films may have a faster pace, but many will leave you unsure as to whether or not one of the characters is called Colin Trafford – this is not such a film.
