I'm more than familiar
with the shortcomings of low budget cinema.
I went in with those expectations.
But, damn!
I thought it was high grade and high octane!
Sophisticated and stylish employment of cinematic language.
Great acting and atmosphere.
Creative and ambitious cinematography.
Really nice use of out of focus street light spheres
as graphic elements.
The application of splitting frames
as reference to comic book panels
was nicely handled,
and often visually compelling by sliding and expanding boxes.
The scene of Solar prostrate on the sidewalk
gradually being divided up in a series of small rectangles was inspired.
Great representation of passing time
and expressive of jumbled dream thoughts.
The editing was excellent, with plenty of beats
and rhythms that kept everything flowing nicely.
Certain allusions to Man Who Fell to Earth
dissolution came to mind.
The soundtrack and atonal effects were
evocative and accentuated the film with nuances
that pushed the weirdness vibe.
The costume is really great.
I love how the molded 6-pack abs
of the clean new outfit
become a smooth and paunched pouch
of the soiled supersuit.
The crotch-cup coin purse is hilarious.
The cavalcade of characters
were rich and amusing.
Adam Marcinowski really handled it,
coming across as totally in it.
Nice doubling of Yvette Monreal
as the celestial princess
and the street performer cowgirl.
Loved super dog's leg trick.
The animated bits were right on
and added to the off kilter aura.
The graphic style contrasts nicely
and stands out for extra oddness.
I very much enjoyed the film..
