Composition

My last post was skipping a weekend on the syllabus, I didn’t realize this mistake until class saturday.   I also managed to misplace the movie reviews and other handout twice.  I typically bring books/handouts to work so I can get it done during lunch time.  Obviously I sent this to every one on the list serv a few days ago by accident.    I managed to find (at least I hope so) one of the movie reviews from Sight and Sound.  I didn’t realize this movie was a low budget, home video based production.  According to Sight and Sound, Jonathan Caouette is an innovative filmmaker who managed to awe with simple mechanics.

From what I read I get the idea that the movie is very raw regarding emotion as well as graphics.  I tend to enjoy raw film over stylized (hollywoodized)  dramatic productions.  It is fascinated that Caouette chose to expose himself, his family and his past for the sake of film.  What I don’t understand yet is the queerness aspect that the review is talking about.   I could see how the film could be shot with that in mind but I’m curious if its the focus of the plot.    Maybe the queerness aspect is not obvious when viewing the film unless attention is drawn to it.  Or maybe I am completely misreading this article, either way I’m sure the movie will be fascinating.
