Dominik I still can't believe that such a good movie don't have a good trailer on youtube. Try to show to friends "a great movie that I've seen few years ago" went horribly wrong. Nobody wanted to watch it based on trailer.Yet, the movie influenced me a lot. I remember that at the beginning I've been thinking that it's just another comedy based in supermarket. Then, gradually my perception of the movie changed. At the end I was really impressed in favor of the piece.I am looking forward to watch it again but with some proper audience at my side.
SnoopyStyle College art student Ben Willis (Sean Biggerstaff) is dumped by his first real girlfriend Suzy. He is so devastated that he develops insomnia. With nothing to do during the night and running low on cash, he decides to get a job at an all-night supermarket. It's his way to get Cashback for his useless time. Sharon Pintey (Emilia Fox) is the quiet weary checkout girl. Sean Higgins is his womanizing lifelong friends. He starts playing with time and even freezing it.The constant narration hides the fact that this is a pretty thin story. It is beautifully shot. Much of the talk is about the naked women. They are model good looking and I have no problems with that. If the naked girls and the slick look are taken away, there isn't much else. The romance with Sharon has limited drama. It may have worked as a short but expanding into a full length movie stretched the material a bit thin.
poundpig At first glance, Cashback would appear to be a shameless excuse to show skin. I was pleasantly surprised to find that there was a reason for the nudity - for the most part. This is not the case for most films.The story was well thought-out, it seems, and I was thoroughly engaged. I was also pleasantly surprised with the acting and the cast. I did not expect much so Cashback far exceeded my expectations. There was good character development and I was intrigued by the main character's ability to pause time in his head and appreciate the beauty around him.One of my favorite scenes was the main character staring at spilled peas on the floor and describing its beauty.I usually release an exasperated sigh when I see a live story in a film because it always seems take on. "Every film needs a love story." I hate film formulae. In Cashback, however, the love story did not seem take on, which was another pleasant surprise.I did not like that some of the nudity was presented in a sexual manner, nor did I like the sexual references because I thought it spoiled the artistic value of the rest of the movie. However, it went with the story. Where other characters found it sexual, the main character found beauty in it so there was a stark contrast.I definitely recommend this film. It was a pure delight.
catherine crépault wibe Horrible movie. It's not poetic, it's cheesy. Like so, so cheesy. I can't even describe. Also, what the is the deal with giving me complexes about my body and my face! I hate movies that gives me complexes. "Look at meee, i'm an artist who can draw boobs really well, with the shaaades and the nipples. By the way, i love nipples, they're soooo pretty, i could just look at them all dayyyyy. " We get it, shut up and go to sleep. i don't have anything more to complain about, but it's fun to complain. seriously though, this movie just made me angry. mainly because the plot sucked, the characters overacted and the girls were objectified.
