Archipelago

I saw this film at the London film festival, and it was one of the most tedious films I have seen in many years. According to the write up for the festival it "makes astute and authoritative observations on the malaises of the middle classes". For me it was just a string of boring squabbles and arguments between various members of a dysfunctional family that I just didn't care about at all. Just about the only saving grace was that the film was shot on the Isles of Scilly, so there was some nice scenery. During the film I was so bored that I had both a good nap and went out and got myself a nice bucket of popcorn, and then proceeded to annoy all around me by munching my way through it.
