Forgotten Indie Films


Back in 2007 i watched a danish movie called Dark Horse, about a week later i had sadly forgotten it existed. Luckily my keen memory collaborated with my tingling indie sense and i found myself in front of the DVD, i decided to buy it and headed off to watch it with an eclectic group of friends. generally it was liked and it was actually as good as i remembered which was nice.

here's the trailer:


Positives:
it's unique for it's story and style, but it also has something that i find makes me love this for more than just the arty black and white shots. It can make you laugh when you least suspect it. I love when movies are clever enough to throw in a punch line before your even realize your being told a joke, it's a gift!

Negatives:
Perhaps for some, it's a little too arty. It may not feel like it's trying to be arty but it's obvious in a throughout the movie that a lot of work has gone into each shot. it's also very character driven, which is the nice way of saying that not a lot happens.

if i was where to score it i would give it 70%
