Home Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

Did you say "slow"? You ain't seen slow until you saw "La Captive"

That ultra-slo-mo film, set to Proust's novel is simply something that will test your ability to concentrate on a candle fire for hours.

118 minutes of nothing is almost too much for even the most hardened movie afficionados... I got restless after about fifty minutes, got up.. went to check my emails... came back - the movie still on, with my wife taking a nap... I went to get a tea, let the dog out... it was still creeping along at its snail's pace, with NOTHING, I mean, NOTHING happening besides a boring and tedious nagging by the main character.

The the car swerled and almost left the road - I felt the beam of hope finally broke the darkness of boredom, but alas, the road was empty - no your usual truck in the opposite lane, so the nagger went back to nagging, and the victim went back to being victim...

Until the end.
