Video Blues

a film by Emma Tusell

Filmoteca Canaria kicks off the new cycle of films that, um, won something at the Rizoma festival — we’ll see what it’s all about. I was not particularly impressed with the opening feature. I mean, there is a limit how much bad quality home video and equally bad sound one could (let alone should) endure. To misquote a quote misattributed to one Bill Gates, ten minutes ought to be enough for anybody. Instead, we have 74 minutes of poorly edited footage that might, or might not, be of sentimental value for the director’s family. For the rest of humankind, it’s not funny, not touching, and not so interesting.
