Actors: Donald Pleasance, Francoise Dorleac
Director: Roman Polanski
For the first fifteen minutes of Cul-De-Sac, I thought I was watching a great 'small' film. These I consider films with low stakes and low budgets that might have other flaws, but the direction/cinematography/acting is all excellent and the movie is fun. However, it transitions into something else entirely - it's more of an absurdist farce. Once the plot gets set up, the film becomes a shaggy-dog story with layers of absurdity piled on more and more. I guess this is one of those times where it would've helped me to know what the hell this movie was about before going in, as it's more of a comedy than anything, but I didn't find it particularly funny.
