Dark Arc (2004)
7/10
A Seductive Mystery Noir
11 July 2013
I am a fan of art cinema and I found this Canadian DVD very different and interesting. It is slow and poetic in places, and not for all cinematic tastes, but once it got going it really held my attention. It is a challenging to describe film, but I would say something along the lines of a seductive artistic mystery noir. With weird humour. I liked the idea of weaving a film around the concept of the "Charged Image", those few visual perceptions we have which really embed in our memory and consciousness. This notion is taken to the extreme, in almost a comic way. And the film has an exquisite look, and visual moments to match this idea. It also has a really amazing ending.

I will watch this film again.
