Messages should be subtle. In CoM, it was painted all over it. Grittiness was novel in the 70s. Its overdone now, and in this film was a serious distraction. The dank trash-strewn set "design" was overpowering. The thick accents blunted what little dialogue there was (we agree). The story was so undercooked that it was undigestable. Its potential power was squandered the maker's insistance that we "get" it. Good editing and camera work were defeated by the flat lighting and too-grim sets.Anytime a film makes me more aware of its gimmicky manipulations and technical failings than the story and characters, the film maker has really blown it. I am thankful, though, that they never went ahead with that smellivision idea for movies.
