derek jarman meet david lynch be how presenter bill bailey describe nadja . if i be a presenter i would have describe a a big pile of art house crap but derek jarman meet david lynch be the same difference . i have nothing against art house horror and i think the addiction be okay while i love the visual style of the keep but there have to be a limit and nadja go way beyond that limit and end up unwatchable for those of u who aren not obsess with pretentious nonsense the story follow eponymous vampire nadja who step foot in america in a bizarre remake of dracula daughter . everything in the narrative be sacrifice for the visual style and more often than not it impossible to understand what the hell be go on since the picture fade to pixellated shot that be out of focus and cross fade and slow motion sound fade out and other directorial trick from michael almereyda . no doubt the director think he be be clever but it make the story unfathomable and isn not help by some very poor performance indeed . it impossible to believe that any of the cast include peter fonda be professional actor a very poor film that will only appeal to art house junky and if it wasn not for the great soundtrack by portishead and my bloody valentine and the verve this steam pile of ostentatious excrement would have receive even less than three out of ten .
