Review of Bliss

Bliss (1985)
Another 10BA scheme cinematic abortion
2 September 2004
You can always tell when a film has been made primarily for the purposes of obtaining a film-making tax concession. They always look like "Bliss". They have quirky characters, unrelated scenes introduced at random for ostensible shock value, no discernible plot and a profoundly soporific effect upon the audience. It goes without saying that they are extremely pretentious and they bomb at the box office. But the most annoying thing about the tax-thieving luvvies who make these sorts of films is that many of them have no sense of humour, yet lack the self-understanding to appreciate this fact, and attempt to introduce humour into their films regardless.

In short, if you want to see a prime example of why films should be subject to punitive taxes rather than subsidies, I cannot recommend "Bliss" highly enough.
