I read the 'comic book villain' nature of Kevin's character more down to unreliable narrator syndrome, his 'evil' greatly exaggerated in the mind of the Tilda Swinton character. We only ever see her side of the story, and I read the whole film through the prism of her damaged psyche . . .

The Imposter - fascinating 'you couldn't make it up!' documentary. A little problematic in the how it's interview subjects were put across, but the sheer lunacy of the story definitely makes it worth a watch. Don't wanna say too much, might be best to go in cold and discover it for yourself Magic Mike - Boring as hell, though the second good Matthew McConaughey performance of the year, who'd ve thunk it ! (maybe he has always been good, I've just never seen any of those 'lean against female lead on the poster' rom coms) . . .

And the central concept of this is the unreliable narrator. In this case a smug, nasty piece of work without a single drop of empathy for his victims. I was oddly compelled, but on the other hand slightly irritated by it all. |

Watched Paranoiac on bluray last night. Good movie with great PQ. Followed that up with The House that dripped blood. This much better than Asylum i thought. Loved Jon Pertwee in the last segment. And i also got to watch the rest of the ZFE extra's on disc two. The Gino de Rossi feature was excellent as was the hour long doc FRTR,just brilliant. The feature with the composer,Fabio Frizzi,was kinda hard to follow,even with a translator present,i found the SQ wasn't up to much.Overall though i was very happy with Arrow's release of ZFE.Also very happy with the BU release too. |

Agree about the stupidity of that FBI agent! Perhaps it says something about the 'PROTECT THE CHILDREN!' climate of fear, especially pertinent at the moment . . .

I'm not sure if it is 'highly manipulative', just a way of enhancing the narrative through clever editing. If it was told documentary style and completely objective, you wouldn't feel the same way about Kevin and Eva, nor have the same reaction at the end. Thinking back at it with that in mind, the right decision was made.
