Camera Obscura

everything was great about the movie. I guess if I had to choose how I could make it better, I would have someone else play the lead male role. he was ok. he looked liked he fit the part but his acting could have been more convincing. overall, its a great movie. I can't wait to go see it again with my friends when they show it in LA... are they going to show it in LA?

An excellent movie! It kept me and my girlfriend at the edge of our seats - it was soooo intense and with so many interesting unexpected twists. It was well worth ditching my last two classes! It's a kind of movie that you want to see in a movie theater since the sound is so intense. Oh, and the lead actress is HOT! The kind of hot that you don't ever see in movies.

Having had considerable amount of contact with a few police departments I have to say that this movie captured the police culture like no other movie I have ever seen. Generally, directors either over exaggerate the evil of the police or leave it in some positive ferry tail haze.

And that sound! It was absolutely wonderful. The movie itself was captivating, but that sound somehow further forced my already undivided attention.

After seeing this movies I definitely want more.

Camera Obscura is a different kind of film, with interesting elements across the board. Its "darkenss" and noir film feeling cannot leave you indifferent. the whole ambiance is wonderfully set and touches you. So do the characters. The change in the psychology of the Characters as the story unfolds really catches you and so does the story telling. Simple, minimal and to the point guarding at all times the aim of the Story tellers to dissect the inner workings of the "Cameraman". I really liked the Detective! Ariadna really fills her shoes! Excellent Photography and great directing. The scene with the Last Supper is really a work of art. Its conception, set-up and execution impeccable.

Really enjoyed it!

Where love and devotion can lead to. Scary !

Camera Obscura is a love story, set in downtown L.A., where the LAPD is the synonym of corruption. Jimmy is a young and sensible photographer, who wants to make ends meet a little bit easier, so he becomes photographer for the LAPD and thus has to make pictures at crime scenes. Very soon, he realizes that he's the wrong guy at the wrong place.

Camera Obscura is Hamlet Sarkissian's first feature film. Although he wanted to make a very hard movie, he knew how to convince young professionals to work with him. It's also thanks to his cameraman, Harris Zambarloukos, that the film becomes flashy, up tempo and intriguing.

I hope Camera Obscura will get any chance it deserves. I'm waiting impatiently for Hamlet Sarkissian's next project.
