The 4th Dimension (2006) |
||
The 4th Dimension may be an low-budget film, but it is a testament to what you can do with a combination of skill, determination, teamwork, vision and time. Shot mostly in black and white, The 4th dimension looks more like an art film to me than a Sci-Fi film (as it is sometimes billed). The shot composition is excellent. Almost every frame could be a photograph in an art exhibit. The found locations used as sets were amazing. The musical score was excellent. Louis Morabito, the lead actor, was perfect and obviously takes his acting very seriously. Even the story in the film was creative and mysteriously presented in a cool way that unfolds throughout the film. By the end of the movie, I could really appreciate the concept. Unfortunately, despite the excellent acting, score, shot composition and story, I didn't enjoy watching the film. |

So what kind of movie was it? It reminded me of movies like Naked Lunch, The Seventh Seal and The Wall (only without the music of Pink Floyd carrying you along). It was a mystery about a quiet, obsessive compulsive guy who fixes antiques and obsesses over the nature of time. The movie doesn't have a lot of dialog and there isn't really much in the way of action, but the tension in the film is extremely thick. If you're looking for an action packed, sci-fi thriller, this isn't what you're looking for. On the other hand, if you are a fan of art films and can appreciate the slow pace of a dramatic mystery, I would absolutely recommend The 4th Dimension to you. Check out the website for more info.:
