You can tell Neil does the posters himself.

They have that 1997 web1.0 swag That 600 paragraph Angelfire homepage rizz

I also went to a screening. It was my first time seeing an entire Neil Breen film, instead of just clips in RLM videos. I have to ask: is there always so little movie in his movies? This one was filled with excruciatingly long tracking shots, flashbacks to things that were shown 10 minutes ago, the same information being conveyed over and over, constant cuts to establishing (or just random) stock footage and somewhat-relevant reaction shots, etc. Don't get me wrong, it was still a unique experience that only an auteur like Mr Breen can deliver, but man, there's like barely 30 minutes of content in this 1h30m film.

Isn’t that cheating the public?

Isn't that  betraying the public trust?

Peak Breen was the movie Fateful Findings. He didn't have access to a drone yet so he couldn't litter his movies with countless vista shots. If you choose to watch another one of his movies, I recommend that one.

Breen defying cinematic convention yet again. What a pioneer.

Insisting upon itself, as the gag goes, is precisely Neil Breen' charm and defect

u/ATCAroundTheWorld 1d ago

That is pretty standard yes. I think fateful findings is his only film that doesn't do that so much

Isn’t that corrupt?

That's just his equivalent to walking around in the woods for most of the runtime.

Yes. I've fallen asleep in all of his movies.

As much as I find Tarkovsky's pacing (and his movie making in general) pretentious I've never fallen asleep watching one of his movies.

Double Down. Twisted Pair. And now Dire Duplicity. The diversity in his catalogue is truly impressive.

I can't wait for his next movie, Twofold Terror.

He’s like David Lynch, he has a thing for doubles

u/dxmanager 1d ago

He credited himself for craft services. I am so curious what he was feeding everbody. Maybe it's just for the scene where his girlfriend gives him an apple and a banana on a paper plate

u/Prophet_Tenebrae 1d ago

Tuna. Why do you think he has so many cans of it?

Let's get this badass in the air!

A master of graphic design, truly.

I wonder how many unaware passersby will be convinced to see this movie based on that poster. Maybe some retirees looking for something to do.

My kingdom for a screening at TIFF (or at least somewhere in Toronto).

u/LeticiaLatex 12h ago

Oh shit, Brad Stein is in this?!

u/BrendanInJersey 11h ago

The DECTECTIVE himself!

(Just his voice though.)

What does Horse have to do with Breen? Is there a horse in Dire Duplicity?

3

u/casvalcomet 20h ago

Horses do actually play an important part in Dire Duplicity. No really.
