Review of Archipiélago (1992) by Kirk M — 03 Jun 2011
Hogg managed the impossible and made a brilliant, but utterly boring film. A very static and distant camera combined with desaturated colors and lack of any embellishment (music) are representative of the boredom this family on holiday is living.
It's painful to watch but perfectly captures the dysfunction and the inability to focus on the essential of Britain's upper middle class today. Unfortunately, the boredom wins out in the end. Don't watch this on a rainy day, you might want to go out and kill yourself afterwards.
