This is without a doubt my second favourite all time film. Second to Death and the Maiden.
A desperate attempt at a trippy experience, plainly trying to capture that sense of the uncanny and lyrical within a sordid setting.The results are mixed.
A quirky, and very British, collection of nine ten minute short stories all set on the London underground.There is no obvious central theme, and no message.
Whilst living in London from 1998 - 2000 there were lots of posters on the London Underground (also know as The Tube, I mostly used the Northern, Piccadilly and Victoria lines - Knightsbridge is actually portrayed in this film, I think) - The Acid House, Miss Saigon, The Blair Witch Project, Star Wars, Sciencetology (!)....
This is a collection of nine short stories centred in and around the London Underground, known by the locals as 'The Tube'. Each story has a different director which makes for quite an interesting feel to the film.
I saw this and was quite pleased with what I saw. The stories were all very different in style and content.
Sadly this piece is loaded with talent but gives the impression that the project was managed by a committee.I suspect it will serve a good piece of social history if you don't waste a lot of time worrying about the story lines.
I saw this film.. plus I bought it..
I saw this last night and was greatly disappointed. When I saw the wealth of great British talent in the opening credits I thought I was in for a real treat but sadly there is not one short movie in this which you could really enjoy.
