Underwhelming Cinema (22 movies items)

" The Maysles brothers are masters of cinema verite, and arguably it's originators in modern cinema as well. Salesman, a documentary about bible salesmen, doesn't fit their usual MO though. Much of the film is just salesmen talking crap about the weather or what not, and it seems like it was a struggle to put together a feature film from the material the brothers had amassed during shooting. Thankfully it's somewhat saved by several scenes where the salesmen try selling over-priced (several hundr"

My movie year 2012 (703 movies items)

"DVD Raamattukauppiaista kertova dokumentti olisi varmasti mielenkiintoisempi huomattavasti lyhyemmällä kestolla. Elokuvan jaaritteluun pohjautuva eteneminen, huono ääniraita ja puuttuva mahdollisuus tekstitykseen (enkkutekstit olisi ilmeisesti kuitenkin jostain salanapista esille saanut...) vaikeuttavat katselua kohdallani entisestään (onneksi läppärin avulla leffaa voi seurata vaikkapa parranajon ohessa). Mikään paras haka kun en puhutun englannin ymmärtämisessä ole ja mielenkiint"

"9.6 DVD Mayslesien klassikossa kuvataan raamattumyyjien arkea. Miesjoukkion jäsenet kävelevät ovelta ovelle jenkkilähiöissä ja kaupittelevat ihan naurettavan hintaista kuvitettua megaraamattua. Suurimmat järkytykset elokuvassa tulevat raamatun hinnasta, sillä se on halvimmillaan 50 dollaria, joka on nykyeuroissa noin kolmensadan luokkaa. Raamatusta! Kirjan saa myös ostettua osamaksulla, jolloin hintaan tulee viitisentoista dollaria lisää. Dokkari toimi varmasti eräänlaisena suunn"

"Aug.25 Peddling religion into the American household, the Maysles made "Direct Film" a religious documentary phenomenon."
