Camera Buff (1979)
3/10
Put A (Lens) Cap On It!
17 February 2008
Here's another example of critics' comments on the back of a VHS box being very misleading to us unsuspecting buyers. Comments on the video box made this movie sound fascinating, a big visual treat and an interesting story with a suspenseful finish.. Sadly, it was none of those things.

By the way, for English-speaker viewers, this film is called "Camera Buff."

In truth, it was very boring film with unlikeable characters giving you nobody to root for or care about. The man character is a nerd who would rather watch others than do anything with his life.

This won the grand prize at the Moscow Film Festival, which shows you how bad things still were in Russia in the early '90s. I know things have gotten better.
