Dancer in the Dark (0%)

Plot: Cinematographer, occasional film director, and, yes, longtime rock star Neil Young personally made (under the silly pseudonym Bernard Shakey) the fascinating, strangely affecting, and feature-length e...( read more read more... )xperiment Greendale as an after-the-fact movie to accompany his CD of the same name. Shot with low-tech equipment, the grainy, overlit Greendale sets a dreamy, David Lynch-like mood as Young tells the story of the fictional Green family, who live in a Northern California town that bears their name. Multi-generational anti-war activists and pro-environmental warriors, the Greens become beleaguered in a world of intensifying media scrutiny, corporate arrogance, personal tragedy, and the devil himself (in the form of a dancing dude in a red suit), culminating in the family's disillusionment and renewed commitment. There's no dialogue: The lyrics of Young's song cycle speak for the characters, making Greendale a novel hybrid of music video and visionary movie. --Tom Keogh

    The king of retro, Neil Young -god of music!!!
    My reasons for rating this movie so high should be pretty clear by now lol. It's not really a movie I guess, but more scenery for his (magnificent) 'greendale' album. Filmed on super-8 and the obvious lip sync, makes it look like an episode of FBI files on discovery. How cool is that lol!

    The music is up to par and there are some decent visual ideas, but Neil should ultimately stick to songwriting.

    I hate this movie, but I also like it. It's boring, but Neil Young's songs hypnotize me away from thoughts of turning it off. I can't give it a 1, because it's not SUPPOSED to be good in a typical way. Come on, we're talking about Neil Young. People like him are thought of as cool for doing things like this. And I guess they are. Sometimes.
