Barcelona/end of september |
What did you make of that?
I hated it.
Why did you go?
It looked promising, a sci-fi thriller, it
could have been right up my alley.
But?
It was right up it’s own…
Ok, ok, calm yourself.
It was disturbing; dystopia hardly does it
justice.
Why didn’t you leave?
Three times I was close to, and anyway I
was still the first out of the cinema.
How was it disturbing?
A surveillance and control future, that is
a mere trip away from where we stand. Frightening how close it felt.
And?
With that came an overwhelming power of
helplessness. That, coupled with a pretty weak plot and heavy handed dramatic
development, left me bored, disappointed and a little incredulous.
Incredulous?
That someone had chosen to finance this.
Hmm.
And then the – thirty years later – what a
cop out!
A lot of films do that.
Rarely a good sign.
Was there nothing positive?
No. I mean, yes. Yes- there was NOTHING positive.
Ok. Shall we name it?
It’s not the worst film you’ve ever seen
though is it?
No.
