So enjoyable, but terrible camera work

Rating: 9/10 (8 July 2000)

I just saw High Fidelity and have read several reviews. I also read the book. Although much of the music referred to in the book and in the movie is unknown to me (I was raising children in the 60's and 70's), I loved the characters in the book and in the movie. The displacement of the locale from London to Chicago was well done and all the actors were well chosen. The beef I have about this movie is the camera work! I haven't read a review that complained about chins being cut off, cameras showing up from the top of the screen, and so on. It really bothered me and distracted from the enjoyment of the film. Anyone out there agree with me?
