Review of Heartless

Heartless (I) (2009)
1/10
Failed British faustian fairy-tale
19 June 2010
Heartless is simply incomprehensible.

Although intriguing to begin with and supported by strong visuals, the narrative strays off from it's desire to be considered a British faustian fairy-tale and enters the realms of just not making sense. At times it's almost as if they movie we are watching is not actually the movie we are supposed to be seeing - all the narrative forward motion happens outside of the protagonists actions.

I am told that the director is a bit of a cult favorite but i really cannot understand why? Has someone recently changed the meaning of the word cult to crap?

In fact, i give up trying to find good in it... it's simply terrible.
