The Dark Forest of the Soul (In a Dark Wood - Marcel Moring)

Advantages: original, clever, meaninful, deep, occasionally funny
Disadvantages: gimmicky, demanding, pretentious

the brim with drunken bikers and spectators, although flashbacks (and flashbacks within flashbacks too) abound. Throughout that night, throughout a town that became a peep-show and a nightmarish dream, from bar to bar, from the funfair to the electric bull, and into the woods that weave through the town and surround it, wanders Marcus Kolpa who has returned to find his lost first love, Jacob's daughter, Chaja.

OK this was never going to be a good thought provoking film, but a decent, dark, sci-fi action flick would be fine with me. The Aliens seemed very?. well Alien as in from the film Alien, but that just could have been because the trailer screen was fairly small, I would reserve judgement ...
