I suppose I didn't come into watching this expecting it to be of the same calibre as 'Monster' or "Swimming to Cambodia", (this being a mere HBO production), so a comparison to those didn't even occur to me. In reply to the above review though, I thoroughly enjoyed the "flat" film footage, especially of the huffing and puffing landowner making his way through waist high snow drifts to show the cabin. I also enjoyed Gray's portrayal of the Jehovah's witnesses--could this have been lost on our British friend, I wonder? Anyone who has had to deal with them(Witnesses, I mean) will find it quite amusing. The story is, as I recall, rendered mostly from footage, and has only snippets of the ever-famous Spaulding sitting at his desk. The film plays effectively as his narrative takes us through the process of finding a dream-cabin getaway in Catskills and buying a real house that has actual rooms (as opposed to the loft he's been living in for many years.) I was rooting for him from the time he first surveyed the "early American" interior of his cabin, to when he went out to see the stars and was thwarted by his neighbor's high-intensity spotlight. And of course there is Gray's commentary, which redeems many a mundane depiction of daily life. |
