Shelf Life (Paul Bartel, 1993)Maybe interesting and maybe accurate ethnographic film on stunted people having grown up 30 years in a bomb shelter - their rituals, scope of thought and power dynamics. But these people are intractable theatre types and this an 80 minute result of acting exercises born from a one joke premise, serving only the performers themselves and whatever tool sharpening’s gained from embodying child-brained adults. Would be better if they were funny. They’re not. They’re theatre types. So it’s torture. -- source link
