This is the first film I've seen by director Bill Forsyth
Local Hero
Bill Forsyth seemed like from what I had heard a strong writer / director with his own particular comedy / drama style. I was hoping I'd like his stuff because when I find a movie I like by a writer / director like this with their own strong style, I know I will probably like most of their other movies. Unfortunately in this case the film did not do to much for me. It started out with some promise, but just never got off the ground. I understand the point of the film was to just be a pleasant kind of enjoyment of a slow, and quiet rural lifestyle versus the busy business world in the city. Neither of the worlds really pulled me in though. Pleasant maybe a bit, but not really captivating.
Rating: 5/10
