My aunt heard i enjoyed movies (?) and gave me this one as a surprise gift. Was I ever excited! I didn’t know what the heck the title meant (apparently its in german or something, I translated it later to learn it was "Beatless")
I popped this in and um what the heck??? its not in english... i watched about 75% of it and they never bothered to start speaking in english so i ripped this pile of junk out, threw it in its case and told my aunt that I hoped she saved her receipt. She didn’t seem too happy that I didn’t like the movie. When she heard my main complaint, she said it needed to be watched with closed captioning or something... um if I can’t speak the language it’s in, how the heck does she expect me to read it??? I always thought my aunt was a pretty smart lady but apparently not. Oh well.
À bout de souffle
Another frustrating thing about this movie is how it cuts around all crazy. What the heck??? and why is it in black and white?? Trying to be artsy with some lame photoshop filter?? College kids always think that will make it win academy awards... here’s a tip, throw in some color and a language I understand and maybe you'll get a good review... maybe!
So Hollywood California has done it again, throwing out some lame "artsy" movie with (probably) no plot and no cool actors, no language i know and a bunch of dumb cuts in the shots. Did they accidentally drop one of their cool clove cigarettes on the film rolls and lose half of it and have to piece it together real quick?? Why were they in such a hurry? I dunno and i don’t really care!!! I give this movie my lowest possible score ** two stars.
