Review of CQ (2001) by Lorenzo V — 21 Jul 2011
Talk about and undiscovered gem,Roman Coppolas 2001 film nevre saw a relase in this country and thats a real shame considering some of the shit that poses as film which washes up on UK shores.
The film pays homage to a greta deal of directors and subjects ,from the Godardian black and white camera diaries to the Classic Italian action movies of the 60s such as Diabolik and of course Barberella.
If like me you love all film then Coppola has given us a movable feast.
The story as it is involves Paul (Jeremy Davies really good) who's complicated personal life is muddied even further whne he is called upon to help out on a Sci Fi film called Dragonfly.
Its a fluff piece of course but slowly Paul falls for his leading lady and tries to create a film out of all the pieces.
I had soo much fun spotting all the references to other film makers ,including of course Coppolas own father who started off working on Sci films for the great Roger Corman.
Coppola has gone on to direct second unit on his sisters films ,but one wonders when he will follow up this rahter good debut.
Seek this out if your a buff like me you wont be dissapointed.
