Dying of the Light

각본은 괜찮았었는데...연출이 살리지 못했다. 허술하기 그지없는 미장센,배역과 따로노는 배우들....니콜라스 케이지의 화려한 부활을 기대 했건만..이젠 기대하지 않으련다 ㅡㅡ;

니콜라스 케이지의 몰락을 보는 건 참 가슴아프다.

느리고 지루하고 싱거운 복수극.

영화도 배우도 안쓰럽다

폴 슈레이더: “Dark” was filmed in 2013 and released in 2014 under the titled “Dying of the Light.” That film was taken from me after the first director’s cut, re-edited as well as scored and mixed without my input. I offered to revisit the film, cut and mix a new version at my own expense but was denied permission by the producers. This cut, now called "Dark," was created using work print DVDs. I had no access to the original hi-res footage and unmixed sound. I tried to used those limitations to my advantage when creating this new film. I had been working toward a more aggressive editing style when “Dying of the Light” was taken away. “Dark” represents the direction I was hoping to go. “Dark” was not created for exhibition or personal gain. It is for the historical record. A digital file of the film can be seen by prior request at the UCLA Film Archives in Los Angeles, the Harry Ransom Center at the University of Texas, Austin and the Museum of Modern Art film department in New York City. 감독판 "Dark"는 현재 "Internet Archive"에 등록돼있다.

니콜라스 케이지의 노년연기는 잘한것같은데 전체적으로 흐름이 지루하다.

병들고 늙은 테러범과 늙고 병들은 첩보원의 재미도 감동도 없는 끝없는 숨바꼭질

감독님이 뭔가 다른일 때문에 바쁘셨던 것 같아요...
