Cinema Purgatorio Audience Reviews

Interesteg What makes it different from others?
Pluskylang Great Film overall
Konterr Brilliant and touching
Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
gladyshatbox Just viewed this wonderful little comedy touching on some of the traps and pitfalls of the art of movie making outside the city limits of Hollywood. This is a keeper on many levels not the least of which is the fact that it was made for 50 thousand dollars, thanks in part to the combined talents of this wonderful ensemble cast. Sure to please and well worth one hour and 40 minutes of your life. Attention to detail is critical so be fore warned you may need to view this film more than once to thoroughly enjoy the subtle humor and nuance that can easily fly by your conscience the first time around. I guess this now makes me a film critic? And considering I have two opposable thumbs, I give it all thumbs up.
cmsec27 'Cinema Purgatorio' is a really fun movie with some almost surprising gems. On the surface, the movie is simply about a team entering a 48 hour film festival. If you look a bit deeper, though, (don't worry, you don't have to look too far- it's pretty much right there) it's a story about relationships and working out your issues. It's got a fun sense of real humor- definitely how I could see people actually reacting to these situations. There are lots of sweet moments and one-liners that bring out not only the humor of life, but also those little things we all need to learn and hear at one point or another. While it's not a cast full of well-known names or common faces, that lends to the realism and feel of the show. It's definitely something that will stay with me for a long time, and well worth watching again and again. Well done!
dv-909-565319 This movie inspired me to add to the lexicon of aphorisms. Cinema Purgatorio is a unique movie that is a picture within a picture within a picture. Is that equal to 1,000 words to the third (cubed) power? First, the movie is about making a movie. At the risk being blacklisted for creating spoilage, I will refrain from further description along those lines.Husband and wife co-produce "films" and are not doing too well. Spiritually and financially. They hatch a scheme to impress a Hollywood Star who, they assume, will back their next major project.Husband and wife set out to win a 48-Hour Film Film Festival. Nearly penniless they assemble a very funny and entertaining cast and crew who include a has-been, a wannabe and several in between.Their antics truly mirror the hazards and realities of low-budget or, in this case, no-budget projects. The 48-Hour weekend nearly turns into a disaster but through resourcefulness and persistence, they screen their entry along with several other submissions.The remainder is fast paced and will leave you surprised and please, with a warm feeling in your heart (unless you are heartless).
Britt Dvorak Cinema Purgatorio is a wonderfully witty film about the idiosyncrasies that go into film-making. It's a brilliant riff on the behind the scenes life, filled with rich characters and a gripping story. With only a budget of 50k, everything was stellar, considering. I believe everyone would enjoy this quirky little film, particularly people who work in the industry. In addition to all of this, it is well shot and acted. It was visually pleasing. My favorite aspect of this film was the characters. They were well- written, and I enjoyed watching them interact with each other. Their dialouge between each other is witty and always had my laughing. I was also a huge fan of the music choices used within. I will be recommending this one to everyone I know.
