Courtney K this was an interesting little film; i'm not sure if i really liked it all that much though. quirky & funny in parts, but pretty forgettable by the end of it. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member It's so nice to catch up with old friends. A true outsider classic! Because the big three had everything pretty much locked up, it was hard for anyone to break in from the outside... But then from the north came this plucky little movie that had what it took to make it to the top... because they had a dream! Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member What a bizarre, unique film this is. The film folows a young movemaker whom is trying to make the best "color crime movie". He has the beginning down, and the end down, but just can't seem to figure out what to do in the middle. The daughter of the landlord where this director is staying, becomes fascinated with his work and befriends the director. Now, that being said; this film is very unique in that this director, the main character, has absolutely no dialogue. Everything that the audience learns is through the eyes of this little girl, via narration. Its a really funny unique story. One scene which stood out for me being where all the various crime wave characters from every draft of the moviemakers script are hanging out in the room where he writes. They get drunk, perform odd sexual advances and are just choas, which I can only imagine is an analogy for writers block. I really don't know how to explain this film; its really bizarre and borderline surreal at times. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a GREAT film! I first saw it in the late 1980s and it took 15 years before I could get my own copy.
