Review of Songs from the Second Floor (2000) by Casey B — 03 May 2004

[list][*]Odd.[*]Dark humor.[*]There is rarely a closeup. Most scenes the camera stays still like a voyeur watching the lives of these characters deteriorate.[*]Everyone is the film is having the worst of luck and the city they live in is going down the drain.

Is it just touch economical times or something worse?[*]It appears that everyone is trying to get out of town or just get somewhere but are stuck in a heavy traffic jam and are not getting anywhere.[*]Soon.

.. all that will be left of this dying city will be the souls of the dead.[*]This was quite a "different" movie and I still don't fully understand it.[*][b]Recommendation[/b]: Well.......

.... hmmm if you don't like strange or surreal films, don't watch. This is an abstract view of society and some of the scenes are not meant to be "realistic."[*][b]Grade[/b]: B+[/list].
