...message in a bottle...
20 September 2005
This film is a mere message in a bottle, no poetry, and no bureaucratic gibberish. It is not a documentary, in terms of an artwork, but a clean TV reportage, nicely edited and with its formatted cinematography (althought the sound material is quite dirty ; was it really reasonable to make interesting interviews inside a pub with a noisy TV on ?…). That bottle could have been sent from every part of this planet: that's what we call "globalisation" . "Modern slavery" is a fashion enjoyed all over the world. It is talking about a very important matter, that's why i rated that "document" a six.

Seeing this film, you'll be like eating vegetables, not candy…but you have to do it sometimes.

Weirdo it again
7 September 2005
Whether it's a good movie or not, films of this kind has to be made, i think. It remembers me of "I love Huckabees", a overwhelmingly puzzling movie with Isabelle Huppert being sodomized by a young American in a mud pond, in a merry sadistic-masochist way (??!!!!). I hope the director will go on stepping across the border, as though i felt the choices Vincenzo Natali made, were not always subtle (some of the scenes were unhappily kind of "tarte-à-la-crème", like a childish slapstick), speaking about script and cinematography… The color of "Cube" was black, "Nothing" is white, more cheerful, surprisingly, than the former films of Natali.
