look around at the nearly empty showing of the science of sleep it be no wonder that art film draw so poorly . it doesn not have to be that way a the illusionist prove this year . but when you make a deliberately claustrophobic and cryptic film like this you really can not complain when no one show up . the big problem with this entry for me be that not only do it make no sense but it be extremely unattractive to look at . the low budget show in many way . it be not that i be narrow mind to the point that i have an issue with cheap effect . the opening shot of hitchcock the lady vanishes be an extremely unconvincing model that even a child could spot and but that film have style and substance . if you have no budget you can at least make it look like you have one unless your goal be to drive away all but the most aspiring critic try to demonstrate their hip credential . how anyone could sustain interest in such a repetitive and uninteresting nightmare be beyond me . it seem that film have become way too polarized lately . you get either comic book franchise that appeal to the low common denominator or you get contrive and pretentious claptrap like this . small budget do not have to mean disastrous result . take for instance edmund which even have to substitute la for manhattan and guess what represent they get away with it . if i have not read that it be not shoot in the big apple i wouldn not have guess . i have a lot of the same frustration with be john malkovich . it be not that i do not like kauffman ( adaptation be a great film ) but in both case it seem a if the intent be to turn off all those viewer that be not already dial into the exact wavelength . a thought cross my head that this might be well watch a little bit at a time ( like anyone with kid watch dvds at home ) but the the thought of have to suffer through this in installment seem intolerable .
