Author Topic: Winter Sleepers Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA. USA (1774.21 miles northeast of Dallas) Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-12-2000 09:53 PM                        This is being pretty heavily promoted as the previous film "from the director of 'Run Lola Run.'" Unfortunately, this sort of promotion is doing it a real disservice, as it is a very slow and deliberate film and is quite unlike RLR. Still, it's rather well crafted and is worth seeing (esp. since one of the major characters is a projectionist; there's a scene with an Ultra-Stereo placard in the background). It's nothing earth-shattering, but it's a reasonable way to spend two hours of one's time.  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.

When we ran this last November, they used the same seel line, but I was told then that that wasn't a good idea because they were two VERY different films. I really did enjoy this film. It's just got that FEEL to it that only a europen film could ever pull off, much the same way as Three Colors Blue did for me. It will never make a dollar, but that's no reason not to make it.  |  IP: Logged
