Search: ‘Control’

Shot in an interview style, Breath Control is not particularly revolutionary... However, what really sets it apart is the director's love of his subject.

Only 15 minutes into this instant classic I thought ‘this is a bloody masterpiece’.

There are some smart ideas here which help to keep the film interesting even if they never quite achieve their potential.

Control is a highly eclectic tableaux of darkness and humour, life and death, characters and incidents, supernatural and commonplace.

An amusing confection, though it doesn't quite catch.

The parallels between the two characters' behaviour are nicely managed for comic effect.

I suspect even Jarmusch’s most ardent fans will find longeurs.

Debates play out over the relevant types of grainy CCTV footage but although branded an "experimental" film, the argument is robust and coherent.

The filmmaking is rough and ready, with a certain lack of finesse, but Bicat's sense of humour prevails.

It's awful, yet is so well directed and acted that you can't take your eyes off it, no matter how much you want to.

Everson's non-technique may hold a harsh mirror up to our implicit involvement in his subject's plight, but his approach quickly becomes disheartening.
