Review of Curtiz

An almost amateurish film school approach to movie making. Tries real hard to be artsy. Plenty of center lighting and angle shots. And revolving cameras. And that's a problem. The director simply doesn't know when to stop the moving cameras! They keep going round in circles until the viewer becomes almost nauseous. I can't believe this film ever survived a test audience. Also much of the dialogue is spoken in Hungarian without subtitles. So, were these words necessary to the story line? We can only conclude that they weren't. Throw in a lot of gratuitous sex scenes and an unconvincing subplot and you have something that would have received a B for effort but a D minus for execution in any reputable film school.
