I payed around £12 for it, and to be honest, yes, even though i love Chris Cunningham, i wanted to take it back. I thought this was a 30minute feature or somethingand was very very disappionted at the time when the credits rolled. I was just felt very cheated indeed.
Obviusly there was a lot of time and effort put into this package but it feels as though it was never meant to be a commercial product so why sell it for such a high price??? If it was simply a labour of love it shouldn't cost so much, it's a little ridiculous i guess. He should have given it away to people, maybe put it on a mail order only, directly from him. Or made it limited to 100 or something.
I never did take it back, i never do take things back, but this was the closest i'd ever been, simply because i was disappionted by how shallow the piece was. I was hoping for something invigerating like some of his videos.
The YouTube thing though. Yes, maybe you can see it on there, but this is a DVD, the quality is a ton times better.
I still look at this every now and then, i have only watched the film once though. I guess you've got to think of this as a package rather than a short film with some pictures to go with it. It's much more so that the pictures are as important as the film.
But yeah, the whole thing comes off a little on the shallow side which is a big shame.
