Some good and some bad but mostly 'ok' so far this week for me.
River’s Edge
Teenagers in a grim town react when their friend murders one of their group. Understated performance from Keanu which is great and shows he can act when given the correct script. Crispin Glover though is off the charts with a positively insane over the top but utterly compelling performance as Layne.
Nekromantik
Unfortunately the most interesting thing about this film is it's notorious history. I think it was exciting to watch back in the day because it wasn't allowed but now it just seemed pointless.
The bonus documentary about it's first UK showing at a film festival and all the opinion pieces were much better than the film itself.
Heaven Adores You
Not as good as I had hoped, a little muddled in the beginning, but lots of interesting archival footage of Elliott Smith as well as talking heads with ex band members, family and friends. A very sad story indeed.
Eraserhead
Too surreal for me but some amazing imagery.
LynchOne
A weird little fly on the wall doc about the creative thought process of David Lynch. It's not particularly entertaining and the photography is all over the place but there are some bits of interest.
