watched the director cut last night. glad it was free rental and even a dollar would have been too much for me to pay to watch this attempt at film noir. the anachronisms (modern telephones) were annoying to me and not clever and seeming more like budget constraints than anything else. the non traditional casting i also found distracting. if i have to stop following the story to wonder what the heck is the black chick or drag queen doing there. then the storyteller has failed me. again and not clever in my opinion but annoying and irritating and and very film school final project ish. and for pete sake if you are going to shoot in black and white at least use some of the techniques used in old films that take full advantage of not having color. there was no use of nuance in the lighting and no shades of gray and no depth and no texture. just black and just white. boring.
