Live Cargo

A bit too artsy for me I have to say.

If you are a fan of excellent cinematography then this is well worth checking out. It is a very well made film in this area.

However, the story is limited. The characters are limited. The dialogue is limited. The acting is good but there isn't enough meat there for them to work with.

It is filmed in black and white. That disappointed me because I was looking forward to all the beauty of the islands. All the colours. The black and white detracted from that most of the time. Although sometimes it definitely added to landscapes and to the film in general.

Again, if you are a big fan of interesting & high quality cinematography, then this film is well worth checking out.

If you need more to enjoy a film, then I'd give this one a miss.

I've watched live cargo twice! The film reminded me of Bela Tarr's work and the Art-house films of Gus Van Sant. There is not much dialogue. Moody, rhythmic and effectively hypnotic. By the half way point I felt like the images put me in a trance. The actors do a great job, especially the lesser known actors and what seem to be local non actors. What I like most about this movie is that it balances a surreal vibe within a world that is captured in a neo-realism fashion. The structure is unique and boldly refreshing, the last 30 minutes are very thrilling. The execution is mostly flawless, it certainly feels like the work of an auteur with a seasoned crew. Surprised to see that this is the directors first movie.

Firstly the film is in in black and white .However I thought I would give it a chance with the good reviews but f all happens all the way through fell asleep twice put it back on to to see if anything was going to happen just some skinny white guy floating about and also Rubbish acting waste of time so get it up yas

Enjoyed this piece of cinematic filmmaking quite a bit. Unique characters and well acted performances. It's a very fresh take on noir, in a rarely seen setting with a hint of Terrence Malick vibes. The storms throughout the film are magnificent and can't forget the underwater sequence with the shark!

For IMDb, 6.8 should portray a film that will be entertaining and a quality watch. This film just is not that. The black and white is a positive and I agree that there are some great visuals. But this movie is just bland and boring. The characters are not developed at all, the story line has no real backbone to it and you are left wondering what is is that you're actually watching. Not until the last 20 minutes of the movie do you see what is going on. It completely missed the mark and did not hold my attention at all.
