Return of Lifeboat

Film Review by Dean Duncan May 27, 2015

This is a great looking view. The film breaks, and there is an actual, intentional, fairly disorienting cut. These ancient pieces are all terrific, and you’re very grateful. Having said that, and meant it, you can’t help thinking, and with some justice, that this medium should probably start using intertitles, or any other device it can think of to better orient the viewer.
