Wow, I thought this was an excellent movie. Consider how hard it is to capture such moments on black and white 16mm film, using only two characters and one room -the elevator, and keep it interesting, funny and weird all at the same time. I thought the actors did really well and the story line was fascinating. These two characters manage to both repel and attract. While one wants desperately out, the other clings to his idea of romance and making things work in their unique environment.
This is not, IMO, an attempt to capture Erasehead. It was an attempt to show how to very divergent characters can turn to each other for comfort in the weirdest place, at the weirdest time.
Weird, quirky and brilliant. Absolutely loved this film.
