Little film; Big Ideas

Rating: Null/10 (25 May 1999)

I read a review of cube suggesting that it might play better on video. Having just finished watching the video I'm keen to see it on the 'big screen'. It struck me as a cool piece of modernist angst, obviously made on a limited budget but making the most of every penny. Great use of themes used by the likes of Kafka, Sartre, Ellison et al. I'm glad that they didn't seek to answer too many questions as the point of this sort of philosophical speculation is to ask those questions and to suffer the anxiety of not 'knowing'. Anyway it was a refreshing change of pace from the committee made dross that Hollywood churns out. Hell I love a lot of that dross but little films with big ideas like this one are always a pleasure to stumble upon.
