Viewing Notes

More like the director was blundering in the dark. This is the only directing credit and most of the rest of the crew were first timers as well (except the editor, who also didn’t turn in great work, but maybe that was because he was working with a first time director?). This starts off promising before muddling itself through most of the rest of the film and then blammo, there’s your ending. I really dug the villa that the family lived in. I’d love to own a place like that.
