Having seen Shin’ichirĂ´ Ueda’s One Cut of the Dead just a few days earlier, It was difficult for me to not laugh at events that looked like one thing, but which would turn out to be altogether different when revealed later. Our audience thought I was over-reacting, and being something of a cheerleader. I had to apologize, but they figured it out later.
This hysterical film within a film (within a film?) joyride was made for an astoundingly low $25,000, and has gone on to gross $30.5 million worldwide!
Due to a technical glitch, I found myself scrambling to find an opener last minute, so I hit the replay button and showed Anna Mantzara’s Enough – her first year film from London’s Royal College of Art. It was great to see again.
