CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Kimball Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

BoratBastard I was flipping through the channels at 1:30 this morning, and stumbled upon this documentary. I had never heard of Ryzhy before, but I found his life and poems very interesting. The film is shot and edited quite nicely... it has a spooky, sad, nostalgic, old-Polaroid-picture sorta feel to it. It was perfect for a late-night/early morning viewing.Especially interesting to me were the segments involving Ryzhy's son, and the montage-type sequences that accompanied the readings of his poems. The soundtrack was excellent as well... really suited the run-down suburban landscape of the film. It reminded me a bit of some of the Montreal "post- rock" bands. I believe that he credits listed Low and Calexico as contributors to the soundtrack.I'd recommend it!
