An in-depth view of the obsession for a gun
The Gun takes Vladimir Alenikov's vision into the shadowy world of obsession, and no one underscores the price of obsession better than the talented Jack Forbes, as Victor. Fraught with good intentions and overwhelmed by the relentless pace of urban living, Victor clamors for a solution, only to find that his problems are just beginning. Jack Forbes' performance is so subtle, compelling and real, combined with the steady-cam no-cuts filming technique, we really feel like we're living out the 90 minutes with him. This should be a break-away film for Jack. Tim Colceri plays AJ, an energetic strip bar owner, and the chemistry between AJ and Victor is both entertaining and heart wrenching. Vladimir's direction of this foray into the minds of everyday people is seamless, inspired and innovative. Cinematographer Kirill Davidoff, through the steadicam of Chris George, is remarkable as it winds through the story in continuous no-cut shots of unprecedented lenght and complexity, all the while in perfect focus and lighting. Jeremiah Hasseman is interesting in the role of Gene, the unruly and unemployed transient, and as a newcomer holds his own in this production. Tamara Tara, as Anna, Victor's hapless wife, shows her range from disdain to distraught to desperate, finally landing in the sypathetic laps of the audience. Val Dillman is delightful as Christie, the alluring and endearing stripper who seduces Victor and tosses Gene out on his ear. And Robert Harrell III is convincing as Lamar, the street-person thief. The Gun is a ground-breaking film for all involved, and should be a winner.
A technically and artistically superior film
The Gun in my opinion is a very important piece of filmmaking that I fear may be slightly misunderstood to the general viewing audience. Upon reflection Alenikov and Company had quite a few obstacles to overcome which they did. One shooting a film in real time. The story takes place in 1.5 hours and therefore the film is 1.5 hours. Second and the most difficult is only 15 scenes using one steady cam to capture all of the action in one continuous shot. Now thats tough. It's more like directing a live play but then with the added difficulty of having to add the camera and lights so that the flow is natural and so is the look. This is what impressed me more than anything. Alenikov is truly an artist. I don't think many directors whose names are recognized today could have pulled it off the way he did. This film is a must see for any aspiring director and/or DP and even actor who wants to see how someone thinks out of the box in approaching a film. Very interesting stuff. I would like to get a copy of this film so I can review each scene and see exactly how he did it. When I originally watched it I kept finding myself asking "How did he do that?" "Where are the lights?" It was pretty impressive. Definately see this film and don't forget what the preperation is to pull something like this off. I'd love to see what Alenikov could do with a big budget. -Cyb :)
new wave cinema
Great! I am 100% agree with the President of Montreal World Film Festival Serge Losique who told: "The Gun" will be a great cult movie". What a movie! I saw the movie twice in one day and I saw that the cinema language is definitely changing - technically and aesthetically. Good job, guys! Jimmy Dalt - professional
A provocative and entertaining thriller!
The Gun is a compelling and thought-provoking thriller that captured my attention from the first scene. An amazing contribution to the Montreal Film Festival, each scene of the film was shot without any cuts. What an ingenious and inventive idea in filmaking! This revolutionary and novel approach to cinematography makes a viewer truly enter the film and revel in the real-time feel. Throughout the film there were plenty of plot twists, which delivered a powerful message regarding guns in America. This movie follows a gun, which in the opening scene of the movie, was dropped on the side of a dusty, deserted road. Soon picked up by a biker, the Gun finds itself in a myriad of situations. Follow the gun from 6:30 to 7:30 and you will find yourself caught in the midst of an exceptional, exciting film.
Great artistic achievement, art-style movie.
In my opinion "The Gun From 6 to 7:30 p.m." is a really great movie, technically and artistically professional (I agree with Cyb). I have been affected from the beginning for the whole duration: utmost visual realistic and truthful story. Audience is drawing into a real life (like a documentary). It's a true people' life-story, not fiction, consistently engaging and intriguing because of the real-time: talented independent filmmakers taste us with the ordinary reality of what is really going on, and it's make us ponder about the cost of human's life... The Gun is like a delay-action bomb - very outspoken, philosophical, and lamentable movie. If you are interested in the type of art-style, slowly-driven, and very professional film - see The Gun. krustar@yahoo.com (KK, Actress/Producer)
