Review of Arc (2006) by Lee M — 07 Dec 2017

Gunnerson falls into many of the traps that tend to snag first time directors and the film is pretentious, self important and simply far too long. Packed with would be literary references that are desperately at odds with the characters, and failed attempts to inject a little cod-philosophising into the proceedings, he far too often strays from the plot, seeming to be under the illusion that the film is offering some grand and significant commentary on the human condition.
