Good movie but grossly overrated
best movie i've ever seen.
Admirable film.
There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.
This movie totally rocks it is the one movie which shows the scene for what it is. Not a nightmare of crime or squalor but an uplifting representation of the scene at the time. The movies music is one of the major selling points as it goes thorough quite a spectrum of house tunes also chucking in some drum and base which might date the movie a little bit. When the house messiah John Digweed turns up for the final set of the night the movie truly hits it peak. The acting is fine and believable. Admitedly the movie crams a lot of different house stereotypes into the mix some convincing and others not. But Im from the British scene so there could be cultural differences. Anyhow If your interested in the early house movement check this movie right out.
After this movie, I listened to Digweed, and I listened to Sasha, and I listed to Digweed and Sasha, and I subscribe to Transitions on iPod and I totally dig Digweed. What's to get upset abt? Music sweet music... Gotta have ten lines, so at the risk of repeating myself...I enjoyed the music, I thought I saw some female humans in it, and as I like girls a lot, that made me very happy (okay, I'm a dirty old man, but I come from a long line of dirty old men), and the music was fun, the atmosphere was not like when I was that age but it was also not so unlike, just different, but it's still people, there's still a beat, people still care and love, I enjoyed it and hope to see (AND HEAR) it again.
This film reproduce the feeling of underground parties, in a Hollywood way. So it is a bit naive, happy-ending type, but definitely makes you re-feel the good memories of partying, or gives you an impression if you never experienced it. It shows lot of the ideas behind party-culture, some based on hippy culture (PeaceLoveUnityRespect, rejecting money, pre-made life vs. conscious life, acceptance, etc.) The music and how they used it in the film is also great. John Digweed is very cool, but the other party-scenes also. The film also shows the bad part of party-life (losing time, you dreams about yourself are nicer according to what you can really be). It shows the paranoid parts too, although if you have not felt yourself, maybe you will not realize it, or it will not mean a lot for you. Somehow the whole thing is an utopia what is in every party-people's mind, I do not know, if I ever experienced it as a whole, or it is only a dream. But it is definiately a platonic idea, if you know what it means (it lives inside everybody without experienced it ever).
Film follows the events that take place within 24 hours at an underground rave in San Francisco on a Saturday night. Of course this rave is different because a whole bunch of the characters will find their lives changed forever. Entertaining, but unmemorable effort made on a shoestring budget features a few nice directorial touches and moves along nicely, despite very familiar material. Rated R.
