I was surprised by the sequence you mention - almost as if he realised he had gone too far and figured he should make it a dream/desire, but not actually an action. It is one of my fav. small budget films of 2011, though I haven't seen too many with tiny budgets - the other one that comes to mind is Another Earth, but I wasn't a big fan of that one.Andy Bucklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15655573933693289124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2890338907751315894.post-53899547621223135822011-12-10T18:51:23.055+11:002011-12-10T18:51:23.055+11:00Your points are valid, without question, but this ...Your points are valid, without question, but this is still a pretty spectacular achievement for the money I'd say. The parts that let Bellflower down, though, had nothing to do with money. The story could have been tighter (and, if I'm allowed to say so, dream sequences are one of my biggest annoyances in cinema, even more so when it's not announced that they ARE dream sequences) and conversations a bit more authentic, but as you say there's some amazing cinematic talent here. I'm thinking that it might be my favourite small-budget film of the year. <br />Yay! Top Ten season's drawing near!Colinhttp://www.picknmixflix.comnoreply@blogger.com
