Bewertung von rutilus
the problem here is not the execution; the problem is the concept.
sure, how great and novel to set a whole film in the bathroom. isn't this indy; isn't this groundbreaking! isn't it voyeuristic.
the problem is that novelty isn't enough to hold a film together. story and plot of some kind are important... that's the director's real cargo and real treasure. the problem is not that much happens at a nightclub, so far as truly fictive material is concerned, and even less happens in a nightclub bathroom. best case scenario for a film like this, you get 2hrs of disjointed, but amusing, vignettes.
bad news, kids, not all the vignettes are amusing, and after about 15 mins one gets quite bored with all the MTV-style machine gun flushing montages.
they would have done much better to stick to a cast of characters, who perhaps begin in the bathroom, and follow them out into the world where stories happen. isn't that a novel idea? yet another indie film far to concerned with being hip to actually give us anything substantive. this is a reminder that obscurity in an industry with a reputation for vacuousness doesn't necessarily mean you have something to say. it may just mean you're vacuous with poor production values.

this film is understandable and enjoyable, but largely unappreciable for anyone who doesn't watch TCM or AMC all day, proving once again what a burden referentialism must be, even when done well.
all the same, it shows most effectively how todd rohal deserves to be fronted the big bucks to make big movies. he's got vision, style, and technique like kevin smith only dreams about.

there is a story, but more essentially, the world of this film begins in chaos and comes to order over the course of ten minutes.
it is a celebration of life and an optimistic assertion of objective truth and good. representing along an axis unexplored in previous cinema, this film should be taught in every high school.
