DVD Reviews of Nothing
DVD Review: Brilliant Concept That Goes Nowhere
Summary: 3 Stars
`Nothing' is a Canadian film directed by Vincenzo Natali who is known for two `Twilight Zone' like sci-fi thrillers `Cube' and `Cypher' but his new film is not about science or thrill despite the use of one peculiar idea. Basically `Nothing' which is part comedy, part sci-fi, is about friendship.
The story is rather simple. Two guys Dave (David Hewlett) and Andrew (Andrew Miller), absolute losers in different ways, are living in a decaying house wedged by two noisy freeways. They have been friends since childhood, but their life is now falling apart because one is (wrongly) accused of embezzlement while the other, of child molesting (again, wrongly).
What they wish is not going away from their house (which, they found, the City is going to demolish). Why should they go anyway? It is those who are harassing them that should be gone. To their great surprise, Dave and Andrew find that their dream has really come true -- the world surrounding them is completely gone.
What remained in the world are Dave and Andre, their old house, their belongings including video games (that still work), and a turtle. Outside the house is total blank, white space with bouncing ground that feels like "tohu." Now Dave and Andrew can start living like as they want in this world of nothing free like a bird ... or can they?
In spite of the intriguing concept, the film is about the two characters Dave and Andrew and their relations drawn with a comic touch. The film is not about how to escape from the world of nothingness where they can live comfortably, so don't expect the suspense you got in Natali's two previous works. The script has one great idea, but it soon loses its energy after 40 minutes. The story sometimes looks repetitious and the annoying characters Dave and Andrew are not particularly amusing, with the two actors' OK (over)acting. As for the comedy part of the film, I think not everyone find it funny as Natali thinks because it heavily relies on slapsticks that look often too silly. If you find two guys jumping like a ping-pong ball against the background of absolute white, it is your comedy.
`Nothing' is a so-so film with one interesting idea that seems to be wasted in the filmmaking process. Considering the film is directed by Vincenzo Natali, who did brilliant films like `Cube,' `Nothing' should be called a letdown.
