No action; all story,
By
This review is from: Lake Boat (DVD)
I couldn't disagree more with previous review. I enjoyed this film very much. There is a great story about a college student who ships out for the summer aboard an ore carrier on Lake Michigan. The crew members he meets, and learns life lessons from are wonderful cast of real "characters" played by some great actors. The reoccuring story about what really happened to the missing crew member is fun as well. Not and action packed film, but a great addition to any David Mamet film collection. By the way Ebert gave this film 3 stars. And wished this film had been made at the time he taught a class on Mamet and his films.

Haunting,
By Belletiane - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Lake Boat (DVD)
You enter this closed world aboard an almost phantom ship like secret corners of life composed of solitude, memory, inner yearnings and the desire to be remembered even if only for having imparted the trick of removing fingerprints from stainless steel.
The offerings of some part of themselves to take to another life of which they know nothing to someone who listened, who said yes, or I understand, the romantized stories about a missing crew member of this back and forth across the lake of people embedded in lives they unendlingly explain in the gestures that compose their lives is haunting, touching and often pure poetry. The actors are breath-taking and the directing so beautifully done as to be almost invisible. I love this film. 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful:

DVD info only,
By Charles Burgess - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Lake Boat (DVD)
Re the DVD itself, not the film:
* Pan and scan only * No close captioning * Subtitles in Spanish only Great movie, not the best DVD. |
