Just saw Fix at the SB Film Festival and it was really good. My friend was skeptical if the first person camera style would work, but it turned out to be visually excellent. The junkie character "Leo" was perfect. So good in fact that someone in the audience asked Shawn Andrews if he was really strung out during shooting. The ending was predictable but appropriate, and its based on the true story of Tao and his brother. A true 10, no flaws really.
sharewhere can i find this... grrr
shareAre you joking? Propably somehow involved on this crap...
Visally *beep* horrible over-the-top performances or otherwise lame by everybody... have these people ever tried to act before? could go forever... This is just amateurish *beep* Whoever funded these "filmakes" should shame his eyes off.
Watch "spun" if you want to see acually good and visually stunning recent methead movie.
LOL. SPUN?! You mean another drug movie where they speed up the frame rate and zoom in on the pupil dilating every time someone does a line? Where the characters all talk insanely fast and incoherently because they're drug addicts with dark circles under their eyes? "Spun" is one OF a million drug films that seem inspired by what the filmmakers ASSUMED it would be like to be on drugs. I have yet to watch "Fix," but if you're calling "Spun" a visually stunning and good film, then i suppose i don't have much to lose.
shareFirst of all, "Fix" isn't a movie about meth heads. Its not really even a drug film. Ofcourse Leo is a heroin addict but this aspect of the film isn't shoved in your face like some movies. I'm assuming "Spun" does, and thats ok but this isn't a drug film that hinges on hacky, superficial, drug dialog.
I personally thought the acting was very natural and its overall doc style was fresh. I enjoyed it.
If you want a heavy handed drug film, "Fix" isn't for you.
Agree! Ruspoli is a pretentious rich boy, and Wilde is a terrible actress in this film. I'm sure Ruspoli received funding for his awful movie from his wealthy family and/or friends. He is an Italian prince, as you probably know. A spoiled rich kid who tried to make a gritty film about a junky and failed miserably, but people were easily fooled, so he received critical acclaim for an obnoxious and unrealistic movie.
sharewhat bothered me the most was how milo was such an idiot, dude disapears in the bathroom for twenty minutes and he's twiddling his thumbs wondering what he's doin, and he's taping him copping and doesn't even try to stop him, yea yea i know he's a junkie but still its ridiculous.
I am.
