Customer Reviews of The Institute Benjamenta
If only the actors would shut up "Institute Benjamenta" has all the positive attributes one would expect from the Brothers Quay: poetic and haunting scenic composition, magnificent photography with ultra-shallow depth of field (a Quay hallmark), and an eerie off-key musical score perfectly mated to the visuals.
What the film lacks -- and lacks quite desperately -- is effective writing. The Brothers' verbal skills are, unfortunately, several orders of magnitude below their compelling visual imagination. The result is that scene after scene is damaged by lines of dialogue that range from pedestrian to downright painful.
While "The Brothers Quay Collection" DVD of (dialogue-free!) short films remains an enthusiastic five-star recommendation, "Institute Benjamenta" is much more hit-or-miss. Fans of the Quays will at least want to take a look; others may be better off skipping this one.
the quay bros are a trip.period.
these two directors are the answer to all the crappy movies forced upon the public these days.basically,all their films are done in distinctly different way by cinematagrophy,script,and just the whole "atmoshere" in general.if you think of yourself as an open-minded individual get this dvd and also pick up the collection of short films they've released(get that for "the street of crocodiles"alone!such a total trip!!!)if you find yourself getting rid of these after you've seen them then consider yourself not very open-minded at the least.
feast for your eyes
Beautiful imagery, intense plot line, lots of symbolism... This is a great movie.
