When Tomorrow Dies

My expectations weren't very high with this being rated lowest of Larry Kent's Vancouver Trilogy according to IMDB . I'd seen the first two, The Bitter Ash, and Sweet Substitute. They were good but flawed, suffering from low budgets and other compromises. Being curious, I really felt compelled to see When Tomorrow Dies despite my low expectations. Immediately I was drawn into the dreamlike sequences and was hooked. Much like in Sweet Substitute, Kent's sets are like time capsules of 1960s interiors and esthetics. The interiors are very reminiscent of my childhood home. What can I say about the story without spoilers? This is the type of story that might be more at home in 1970s feminist films. In a way it could be seen as a woman's midlife crisis and her coming to terms with it. Technically, my only problem was with the voice soundtrack. The voices were extremely loud at times, yet would go soft and unintelligible at others. Even when loud it was difficult to understand some dialog. Hopefully in the future this can be addressed. The music however, as in the other two Vancouver Trilogy films, was excellent.
