Vanity Fair (2018)
Dreadful adaptation
This just made me feel as if I had mistakenly watched an 80's video adaptation by mistake. The oversaturated colours and gimmicky music choices meant that this production was just a mess from the opening credits until the point I could bear it no longer.
Pointless.
Vanity Fair: Miss Sharp in the Presence of the Enemy (2018)
Dreadful adaptation
This whole production simply looks cheap. From the oversaturated colours to the haphazard editing this made me feel I had mistakenly watched an 80's video adaptation. Very poor indeed.
The Further Adventures of Anse and Bhule in No-man's Land (2017)
Incoherent babble
This is the worst kind of self indulgent nonsense. The plot is muddled and confusing with several different actors playing the same characters in different time frames with no attempt to identify who they are within each period. Poorly conceived and with little to recommend it, this is let down further by some of the worst green screen effects it has ever been my misfortune to witness. Over reliant on the use of colour filters to try and give some impact, the editing is hamfisted and the film blighted by the lack of s clear creative vision. Clean, bright white sheets seem to make up most of the wardrobe and their pristine colour in a dusty, dry post-apocalyptic landscape jars with every scene. In addition there are various dream sequences that have such appallingly anachronistic costumes (or gratuitous nudity) that the relevance is lost on all except the screenwriter. Stay away from this horrendous "film"
