this movie got a lot of press a little bit ago because of its unconventional release. the movie was available at the theater, on dvd, and on pay-per-view all on the same week. it is the first in a line of experimental films that will see if this is actually a viable business model for films. i dont know if it was successful or anything, i just know that i saw the movie last weekend.
my reaction to the film: wow. i dont know what it is about the film, its not like there is anything in particular that stands out or anything, but its been almost a week and it still haunts me. the story is very simple. ridiculously simple, actually. its about a young guy and an older woman who work together in a factory in the midwest. then a new woman starts working at the factory. and thats pretty much it. (well, there is a little bit more, but i dont want to ruin anything for you.) the mood of the film though, is amazing. its poorly lit, its messy, its awkward. just like real life. it hardly has the feeling of a movie, it feels more like a day in the life of these people as they go about their usual daily events. some parts are slow, sometimes the characters dont have anything interesting to say, and things dont always work out well. but its done in such convincing way that it gets to the hardest thing to do in cinema: it tells the truth.
