COMPETITION
SLUMMING

Dir: MICHAEL GLAWOGGER

The third boring film in a day of boring films in Competition. Slumming is shot like a never ending student film. Script readers should be warned that a lot of proposed student films begin with sequences on the underground and often involve down and outs - this one did to. There were one or two funny moments, but that is not enough to justify 100minutes in a cinema on the part of the audience.

The only thing I liked about the movie was that the two protagonists were a pair of spoiled rich kids, trite and irresponsible, characters who are rarely seen on the screen, but often around in university seminars on making movies.
