Zany and grainy
28 June 2001
Warning: Spoilers
******Warning! Contains spoilers!!!***** Naked Flame is a Canadian film production before the days of decent NFB funding and Atom Egoyan. That means it's not that good. Watch it for a laugh - especially for one of the most bizzare foot chases in film history: Drunken Dukabor chasing scantily-clad woman (to who he was formerly betrothed) towards a frozen river, along the rivers edge, back up the ravine and then onto the snow (Riveting! see "Sarcasm"). Of more humourous note is the father who's daughter has just been offed by afforementioned drunken Dukabor, being told to go back to his car where we are to assume he will drive home to his flaming shambles of a cabin. It's all Zany... and grainy (I mean it's actually shot on some of the most grainy and discolored film stock I've ever seen). The one saving grace would be watching the surprisingly professional performance of Mort Van Ostrand. Cudos to him.
