Love Event Horizon. One of my fave films. Actually did re-watch it a little while ago, and it's still just as good. Sam Neil and Laurence Fishbourne are so good in it.

This was on Film4 last night.

A truly bad film. It's a long time, since I've turned a film off.

Set in the seventies. The story of a super duper, all singing tower block, where the higher up you live, the more expensive your apartment.

This leads to division between the occupants and eventually anarchy.

Dreadful.

Swerve at all costs.

I went to see this at the cinema. I'd just finished reading Concrete Island, so I knew it was going to be a bit strange. It wasn't that bad, plot was a bit sketchy but I just enjoyed the cinematography of it. It's how I imagine living the Barbican.

I'm sorry, but it was a true shocker.

The building was the most interesting thing about it.

I try not to turn a film off, FF through the worst bits, if it's truly bad.
This was an amalgamation of many early 20th C films/ideas (at least, I think it was), relating to the housing/class issues that were/are prevalent in society. The Utopian society/housing 'fix' has long been idealised (look at summerisle's Russia thread for some posts lately), also Marinetti's 'Manifesto del Futurismo' and even Stirlings or Corbusiers attempts at housing ideals. This film also brings in the idea of class, upper, upper middle, middle (don't think it got that low actually) and the way society revolves around that system. I can't remember the line but, it went along the lines of "us Royals bla bla". It just needed a 'Cromwell' really and that's that.

The acting was good but, the film lost it's way.






So, just like I'm being now, it tried to be a bit too clever for itself.
