The Worst Film Ever
Nice effects though.
Did you people see the same film I saw?
It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
This is a 10-minute movie by notable documentary director Les Blank from over 45 years ago. The music and narration comes from blues singer Lightnin Hopkins. And that says it already. There is music in here. There is narration in here. The are animal recordings, landscape recording and small town recordings. really lots of content for such a short film and sadly none of it is really elaborated on in detail. It's probably a good watch for fans of the artist featured in here, but for the rest I am not so sure. Also, nothing is really happening. It's not a bad watch if you are just exhausted after a long day of work and want to lean back and chill, but if you want to watch something exciting, there are many far better choices out there.
