film 32: innocent saturday


i didn't like this. the blurb in imdb says a group of friends and bandmates look to escape from the chernobyl disaster. what a load of tosh. starts of with handheld camera running after someone in the dark, though scrub, through broken buildings, you work out something is really wrong but there doesn't seem to be anyone wanting to leave anytime soon. an aborted attempt to board the train and then it's back to a saturday wedding and the same old pettiness. perhaps it was a remark about humanity sticking their head in the ground at bad tidings, but come one. bah!

film 33: on borrowed time


david bradbury's documentary on the filmmaker paul cox, who has made 25 feature films since moving to melbourne in the late 60s.
