i be review this from the perspective of myself a a fan of miller . though this be a poorly do piece of amateur cinema and there be at least enough curiosity in see the presentation of the character and other element of the book and though you will likely be horribly disappointed with everything . quiet day be certainly one of miller crudest book and in term of him come off like a real jerk and albeit a smart and charm one ( which the actor play miller totally lack ) . in that sense and the film capture the baseness in the fact that it a if the novel have be interpret by titter frat boy who pick out the most basic shock element and run with them with anti authoritarian glee . the previous review of this film mention plot point which make no sense . this be because the director show his obvious carelessness and sloppiness by not attach logic to action which be clear in the book . a curiosity of the late 60 ( include footage of paris in 69/70 while also notable for the use of text within image which i actually quite like ) and but a real disappointment for miller fan and and a pretty bad movie overall .
