Review of Shallow Grave (1994) by Branka D — 14 Mar 2008
The characters are well developed and all are performed with gusto from the cast. The plot is clever and inventive as it makes the most of what is mainly a single location, and the ironic twists of fate are unexpected and draw the viewer in even more.
The highlight of the film, however, is the wonderful visual design of the film, where colors take on specific meanings (the red as they dig the graves) and moments that reflect inner turmoil of a character's mind (the holes drilled within attic).
A film that verges between clever entertainment and superb artistry.
