Get Out of The Car / Indian Boundary Line

this was a double feature of medium-length films. i'll reiterate: i'm no film buff, so i can't say what the "official" name of this genre is. i'm going to call it "moving photography," where there is a high emphasis on cinematography, with lingering shots that offer an experience not unlike looking at a photograph. only, it moves a little, and is accompanied by text or music.

the first film (Indian Boundary Line) was not my most favouritest movie ever. it felt a little like an over-worked, somewhat tedious student project, complete with ridiculous and painful over-pronunciation of read materials. there were definitely moments of real interest, though.

Get Out Of The Car, however, was brilliant. it was executed far more stylishly than the first, and with a superb sense of humour. i'd even watch it again, and i definitely recommend it.
