Movie Reviews of The Hole
Movie Review: poor transfer
Summary: 4 Stars
a really terrific movie, as everyone here's stated. I saw the film on its theatrical release in the same double feature a lot of people speak of. But on buying the DVD, I was disappointed at the dark, muddy transfer. The dance sequences are fairly well-lit, but a number of the scenes are so dark it's difficult to tell what's going on.Movie Review: I really should read Amazon before I buy anything at all!
Summary: 1 Stars
The reviewer below had some great advice: "OK maybe to see once, not to own." I own this DVD, spurred on by some egregious advice in a Jonathan Rosenbaum review which ignited my interest; and despite some Jobean patience and the use of heavy stimulants I cannot get through its grating pacing, its alienation effects, its submarined plot. Its hintings of premillenial urban anomie is far more suggestive in reviews about the movie than in the actual viewing experience, and I would direct other curious or hysterical viewers to heed the heroic Amazonian's advice and RENT IT. Take it from me, my sisters and brothers, because I bought it and I've wept ever since."The Hole" is one of a series of "Year 2000" films commissioned by La Sept Arte commemorating the (then scary) millennium; its brethren include Hal Hartley's "Book of Life" and a Spanish director's entry, "The Night That I Was Born." (There's a French entry as well, which I think is called "Les Commisionaires" or "Les Communards" or something; sorry, I don't remember.) I can enthusiastically recommend the charming, if light, "The Night I Was Born" -- especially over "The Hole."
Movie Review: Hole lot of Confusion
Summary: 1 Stars
Well,Don't really know what to say about this movie!! Not what I expected at all!
The best I can figure is that this is some twisted tribute, to the music of the late (?) Grace Chang.
Interesting does not even begin to describe it The Camp dance sequences, seem to have no relevance to the main storyline, except to introduce an element of the ridiculuos and to send you into fits of laughter.
The Storyline, well, that is even more bizarre, Guy lives in run-down apartment, plumber, who's doing the girl downstairs, knocks whole in floor, girl downstairs falls for guy upstairs!!
Well, that's all I can really say. The movie has it's value, I don't think I have laughed at a movie so hard for ages, not because it was funny, but because it was SO TACKY!!
maybe If I understood chinese I might have liked it more, but just not my style!!
