  • There has lately been a flood of coming-of-age movies, but what makes GLUE somewhat exceptional is its intimate, lyrical atmosphere and its almost abstract painterly use of video

    So bad I had to keep watching to see if it got worse!

    This is probably to worst film of the 65,000 on offer.

    It's like a video diary shot by a hormonal 14 year-old who was jerking off so much that the camera kept shaking. It was obviously shot with a hand-held video camera without a zoom - when they wanted a close up, the cameraman actually ran towards the actors. By the time he got to where he wanted to be, the actors had finished the action he wanted a close up of in the first place. The number of times that the screen went black - usually just as the action go remotely interesting - really was annoying. I reasoned that it must be the cameraman changing batteries or having a crank if he had one of the new wind-up ones!

    There was no storyline that I could detect - just a 'day in the life of' - but even then it was difficult to figure out whose life we were looking at. Was it the 16 year-old shown on the cover - struggling to get his end away before he died a wrinkly old virgin; was it his best mate - struggling to get in before him with the only willing girl in town; was it his mother - struggling to decide whether to take back her adulterous husband or not; or was it perhaps the man himself - who deserved a medal for putting up with the wierdest family in town.

    I have to confess I wound the DVD player up to triple speed to get it over with as soon as possible. This didn't spoil my enjoyment in any - not that I was enjoying it - because the dialogue was so sparse that I could keep up with what little was going on by reading the subtitles that flashed up only occasionally - even at triple speed.

    Just as I was praying to be put out of my misery, it finished as quickly as it had started - without having reached any conclusion or climax at all - right in the middle of a scene.

    Perhaps the cameraman had finally exhausted his supply of batteries...
