Logging

Film: Transit

Pretty awesome concept - the film is an adaptation of a 1940s era tale of escaping fascism but set in the present day with all our current technologies, etc. The effect is a disorienting dream like quality that cinema can do so well. The elevator pitch might be: Casablanca meets The Conformist but as good as that sounds, it maybe doesn't QUITE live up to the premise. I thoroughly enjoyed the first act and thought the movie got less interesting as it went on even though the twists and turns are pretty good on paper. I almost felt like I wanted the film to get bigger versus more intimate, if that makes any sense.
