Eye For Film >> Movies >> Humanist (2001) DVD Review
The sound and picture on this disc are fine but the extras in no way make up for the movie, instead adding further discomfort.
We are presented with a theatrical trailer that shows the best bits, but makes no sense and not one but two music videos which are just so over-the-top that they aren't even sadly funny (don't forget to listen for the Sesame Street crew).
There is also an EPK (an extended trailer -19 minutes), a Behind the Scenes segment that shows us the director (looking bored) working with the cast (who also look bored but decide to mock the camera crew doing the behind the scenes segment just because they can).
The two TV spots don't include subtitles and in no way make us want to watch the movie. There are also some trailers fro a few other movies such as A Bizarre Love Triangle (with a weird Star Wars rip off intro), Addicted, Red Trousers (a not bad looking action movie about a group of Hong Kong stuntmen), Cop On A Mission and, Escape From Hong Kong Island (from what I could gather it's a movie about slapping and chasing bus-sized coins - very weird).
There is no commentary, no why-I-made-this-movie kind of interview, just a lot of goodies that don't really feel good to watch.
