schlecht schlecht schlecht

I remember leaving the cinema with my girlfriend and she said: "That was one of the best films I have ever seen." I realised in that moment that our relationship was doomed. It was one of those occasions in one's life when you simply cannot fake it. However much I loved her, I couldn't do it.

Das schreibt der Autor Nicholas Shakespeare - und Sie können sich denken, dass er den Film nicht ausstehen konnte. Und zwar "Blue Velvet". Blasphemisch genug. Und dann noch in einer Reihe von 12 Leuten, die über die schlechtesten Filme aller Zeiten schreiben. Im Guardian. Mr. Shakespeare, erfahren wir, ist auch mit "Citizen Kane" nie glücklich geworden.

Sehr hübsch auch Peter Bradshaws "The Piano"-Beschimpfung:

The most insidiously awful type of film, however, is Arthouse Lite. A key example is The Piano by Jane Campion. It is middlebrow, pseudo-literary cinema, which is shallow and prissy and genteel. Those self-regarding pretty-pretty compositions of Holly Hunter on the beach, drove me up the wall. She's mute: which manages to be such a smug passive-aggressive idea.
