Melo

France Alan Renais

Another oddity from France's master of the unexpected. This was an adaptation of a play and looked it...few sets, few players. The set-up and dialogue was very artificial and for a while I was intrigued by the dynamics among the characters but after an hour or so the exaggerated behavior became tiresome and I lost interest. From 1986.

This one was a miss but I admire AR for his long history of stretching the boundaries of cinema.
