Review of Nightfur (2011) by John D — 16 Jun 2012

I thought this movie was amazing for what it is. Its an art film - a low budget art film; so you have to go into it with a certain mind frame. Its almost therapeutic to watch and has a dreamy pace with great music. I am a fan of french new wave cinema and this movie delivers something to audiences that most Hollywood-Obsessed America misses. You won't find spoon feeding and a by-the-books plot, but you will actually have to use your imagination and hunt for its grand theme. It is a theme which is often overlooked in our everyday lives, but lurks in every corner of this well directed film.

The characters are quirky and at times the acting is a bit amateur, but Nightfur reminded me to question myself about what is truly ground breaking and what is just a big commercial.

If you want to see a unique film made by real filmmakers that are not driven by the whip of commercialism and advertising money, this is the real deal! I am so glad to find that truly original indie films are still being made. If you want 10 million dollar, studio packaged movies falsely labeled as "indie" films, go watch Sundance fodder.
