Review of Iceberg (2005) by Ryan H — 03 Aug 2010
As Aldous Snow would say, awful bloody film! Every single scene is drawn out so that the artistic integrity diminishes. There was one funny part, and that was when he tried to kill the man with the anchor but it doesn't reach.
There, I saved you the hour and 20 minutes, plus whatever time it takes to get it. The characters are not likable, and I don't pity the people that get stuck in their lives the way they did. I understand that this is most likely a fantasy of the woman about getting out of her life where everything is just the same over and over again, but I still hate the fact that she leaves her husband and kids when getting there in the first place is her fault.
I ended up having to fast forward the last 20 minutes because I just couldn't take it anymore. Minimalist films can be great like those put out by Gus Van Sant. Some scenes are long, not every single scene, but also the story has some place it's going and somehow makes us care about every minute detail.
Not this one. L'Iceberg is a waste of time.
