Full Frontal (2002)
DOGME95 it isn't . . .
. . . not that it's intended to be, maybe. I was excited by the premise of the director's instructions to his actors. Great, I thought, a low-budget, minimalist film shot on DV by a great director. I was more than disappointed by the pretentious construction and silly seriousness of the project. I thought I could care less about Julia Roberts, and now I do.
Sunday (1997)
Simple, elegant
A delight in a world where "if you don't know what's going on in the first thirty seconds, you're lost." The first half-hour or so lets a viewer take in another world, one with which she may not be familiar, and allows a gradual "easing into" the plot, which sheds far more light on human behavior than almost any ten glossy, big-budget H-wood films out there. Most won't want to do the work required to fully appreciate this film. Take the time, talk it over, then get Signs and Wonders.
