Disfigured the Movie - Part One
Who know MovableType had a limit on how much you can fit in one entry? Anyway, here is my sort-of review of Disfigured, in two parts: I've decided not to write any more about Disfigured, other than that you should all go see it, because there's just not much to say without ruining it. When I read the blurbs about films in the Cinequest handbook I only read as far as 1) something sparks my interest or 2) I read something I definitely don't want to see (child abuse, pedophiles, German movie). I don't read any further because I just want to enjoy every moment of surprise when I watch it. That's the sucky part of regular movies these days, you've practically seen the entire movie after watching all the trailers and tv previews. So here is what I will say about Disfigured: It's the kind of movie you feel very lucky to have seen at Cinequest because there is probably not a mass market appeal so there is no other way you could have seen it. That doesn't mean it's not an incredible movie - it just means that no Hollywood executive will accept that the public might want to watch a movie about a fat girl and an anorexic girl without casting Eddie Murphy in the role of the fat girl. It’s what makes Cinequest so fun, because you get to see things you never would have otherwise. For instance, let's look at two movies from past Cinequest years: Comments
I don't really know that you want to post this, I just wanted to say: thank you, so much! Deidra, Staci and I truly grateful for such a wonderful review. The movie will be released on DVD this summer. Maybe we can quote you, on our site, then? Anyhow: really, thanks. And congratulations on the Dean's Scholar honor!
