Able Edwards (2004)
What a wonderful film!
If you watch the movie....and let the technical limitations slide (which are few and far between...and I'm guessing here, but some of them seemed
intentional..like the obvious walking in place shots) you can really enjoy this movie. Honestly, I didn't expect to. (A friend dragged me to a screening in Los Angeles.) It's dark and sad but not depressing. There is a mild underscore of humor throughout the piece that is hard to describe...it's almost sinister, definitely self-reflexive and can easily be overlooked. I mean, it's a greenscreen movie, all the backgrounds are fake, everything is simulated ...and there is Able Edwards, the main character, inside this virtual bubble on an ultimately tragic quest to find things that are real. Sometimes you wonder if the filmmaker was trapped inside that same bubble.
It's awesome. I am so impressed. It looks spectacular and it's a great story with great acting.
I would buy this film
