Who payed the critics

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

Himorogi (2012) *** (out of 4) Alessio and Marina Pierro made this seventeen-minute short film as a homage to director Walerian Borowczyk whom Marina worked with several times. This film was meant to pay respect to the various visual styles that Borowczyk brought to his movies and for the most part I'd call it a success. If you're looking for some sort of story then you're really not going to find one because this is one of those films were there are just a bunch of images and I personally didn't draw any sort of story from it. It's worth nothing that the movie is exceptionally beautiful to look at as the images are really captured perfectly with the great cinematography. The music score by Borowczyk regular Bernard Parmegiani is also excellent and it turned out to be his final work.
