The Keeper (2004)

Before you try to do impressionism you have to learn how to paint straight

The allegory of the film is the centerpiece. Which isn't the best thing considering its fairly ham-fisted. Allegory works best when its on a emotional level rather than an intellectual level and the allegory here in this film is predominantly intellectual.

As I said in the summary it seemed like a lot of opportunity to create a better film wasn't taken advantage of. In terms of visual elements, emotion, lighting, etc. Again this goes back to the allegory being the centerpiece and the filmmaker overemphasizing this.

Still the acting isn't bad and the film is watchable if you have some free time. If what you look for in a film is something to intellectually mull over this maybe just your ticket.
