Strange - Buffet Froid review by CP Customer
Its brilliant, but i don't know why.
Sorry that this is such an inadequate expression, but this film achieves something huge by leaving you knowing it has captured something about the world that you have yet to conceptualise !
Perhaps its an urban underclass thing about living with danger and uncertainty ? or perhaps its more universal ? I just love art that makes me feel like this.
i hope that makes sense.
