It was an acclaimed art film called Julien Donkey-Boy . As I understand it, a bunch of filmmakers got together and challenged themselves to make films conforming to a certain list of restrictions. They must shoot on video, they must use only natural light, they must work barefoot, etc. This is fine with me - I even applaud their spirit. Fine, you kids go experiment.
Experimentation is a wonderful thing.
If Albert Einstein hadn't experimented, he never would've discovered the polio vaccine - but that doesn't mean I want to drink a big mug of the stuff. The last movie I can remember walking out of was probably Supergirl , and that wasn't even my idea. Personally, I was getting off on watching Helen Slater run around in that little costume, but my companion didn't share my opinion. Sure, it's an awful movie, but I would've stayed anyway. The title character, it becomes immediately obvious is mentally challenged.
