hallam foe tell u the story about a boy who lose his mother and experience some sort of oedepus complex afterward . it be something like 95 minute long but would be good in ten . there like an hour in the middle where he be do climb practice on rooftop and and habit in a church tower like quasimodo ( only he be much less sympathetic ) . there a strange love story involve which doesn not have anything to do with anything . she happen to look like his mother and yes so what . we know he miss his mother and that what the first ten minute be about . they should just have put the beginning and end together and it would have be a o. k. short film . now it a portrait of a character who doesn not change . he be a guy that stuff happen to . the only active choice he have in the whole middle of the movie be to apply for a job . there this whole oedepus thing go on which be suppose to make u analyze his character . he paint his face and dress in woman clothe and wear a dead badger on his head . a badger . you have get to see the end . he return to his home with the badger on his head ( and it be shoot like a tacky horror film ) to kill his dad new wife ( which he have sex with in the beginning ) . and somehow they think this wouldn not be entertain enough so they put some indie punk music in the background . i have get to admit though and i be kind of allergic to film that want to write a psychological complex on your nose . it feel like this mackenzie director or guy or whatever be try to show u that he also have be study psychology in school . you be so smart . thank you for bring all these forgotten theory back into our memory . you really dig . what a wallraff . okay so now i realize this film be base on some random book and but anyway . photowise it be bore . a lot of talk head . plus the editor have change the color from scene to scene and you know cold and warm etc . why . maybe hallam foe be both a feature and a test film for color blind people . or maybe they just think that the drama wouldn not be enough to tell u that he feel lonely and so they increase blue so that we really get it . i be not even gon na comment on the cliché indie oh how how how cute drawing they have make in the presentation . and all the cute sex stuff go on . this whole film be an independent cliché . but i do recommend it . i laugh more than a few time . though it be really annoy to be a film student and to see how crap like this get through the machine .
