Product: Last Days (2 Disc Special Edition)
Rating: 3.0
tedious and disappointing
i am not at all averse to art films, and until half this film had elapsed i was totally enthralled. however, by the end of the film i felt i had spent 90 mins with the director's ego. never have i seen a film try so hard to be clever. and with so little to say. there were comic elements that were nicely placed in the first half. by the end the comedy had gone wrong, apparently through bad-film-making rather than design. it limped to a conclusion. it was like a student film. the music that 'kurt' was playing was like student rock. it wasn't good. i am not especially a fan of kurt cobain (i like courtney better...!) but the whole exercise felt rather cheap. and i don't mean low budget, i mean CHEAP. shallow. on the plus side, there was some magical cinematography, but it wasn't enough to carry the film. i watched this film with a friend who recommended it to me and wanted me to explain it to her (as she considers me a buff) - she thought it was the strangest, most interesting film. i did not agree. i thought it was a rather poor effort, and there was nothing to explain beyond bad film-making. she just hasn't seen many good films so doesn't have much to compare it to. if you're interested in films watch it to see how NOT to make one. but i repeat - GREAT cinematography.
