Viewing Notes

Free screening at IFS for this patron sponsored selection and it sounded very unusual. It is! It’s all talking over still images from popular movies that are being referenced directly or indirectly in the dialogue, which is like a courtroom interrogation. Very unusual and not for everyone. The dialogue can be grating at times even while being quite amusing (lots of laughs in our smallish crowd).

The biggest issue I have with anything about movies such as this is that I want to watch all the movies referenced either from the dialogue or the static photos. There’s a lot in this!
