A short one written by Allan Moore? This must be something! And it really is... "Act of faith" runs only eighteen minutes or so, but it will certainly satisfy your needs. Of course, only if you like dark humor and irony - this are the key words to this little masterpiece. The tension here is really unbearable, so forget about boredom. I won't describe the plot, because that would ruin the pleasure that this flick is going to give you. I'll just say that it is sexy, a little kinky and very inspiring. I'm looking forward to see another work from Moore and director Mitch Jenkins. If" Jimmy's end" is as good as this one, it's going to be real fun!
This spaghetti-western is worth watching only because of one thing. O.K., maybe two: the stars of the project are Harvey Keitel and David Bowie. During the first half of the movie we're dealing with some strange combination of a cowboy story, comedy (not very bright, I must say) and... family movie. Well, it's boring and it reminded me of TV series called, yes, yes , "Dr, Quinn". Something interesting starts to happen when Bowie gets on the stage, but for his appearance we have to wait for a fifty minutes (fifty three, to be more specific). If you're a fan of the "rock'n'roll chameleon", you'll see this one anyway. In case you don't admire the gentleman, you should forget about "Il mio west" - it's the kind of a flick that makes you think: why the hell someone decided to film this?
A young Japanese couple on their way to auto-destruction. Pretty disturbing (specially for a normal viewer) s&m themed short movie. Realisation is professional, so don't worry, that you'll be forced into some non-budget crap. I should also note one important thing: the shocking side here tries to carry some content about loneliness and psychic pain. I liked it, though the dialogs made me feel a little uncomfortable: too pretentious, even sometimes pathetic in their affected, emotional way. That's a shame, because the whole thing could be a real knock-out, telling us about the real despair, that leads to insanity. Still, worth seeing, not only for the blood-thirsty gore fans.
