VIFF Day 5
Bedroom Dancing: Kind of an interesting short, about a man arrested in Singapore for masturbating in front of his apartment window. Beyond that the story is kind of lacking. 6
Lucky 7: A Singaporean film in the form of an exquisite corpse. It sounded like an idea that might have worked well but probably not; I think maybe if Lars von Trier had organized it (and it sounds like something he might do) it could have worked out well, but here the result was just kind of muddled, although some parts of the movie were interesting to watch. 5
Motherland: This movie is long and slow; it had sort of an interesting concept, but I just found it too boring. 4
She Unfolds by Day: I liked this little experimental film; worth seeing and worth encouraging VIFF to show more avant-garde work. 8
