Day Watch is coming
Just because the master of the house is off playing vikings doesn’t mean things slow down too much around here. I’m off to see this on Monday:
Cool subtitles aside, the American version of ‘Night Watch’ was a mess. They gutted it. Be interesting to see what they do with a film that centres around a piece of magical chalk. I just about managed to follow a badly fan subbed Russian version of ‘Day Watch’ last year so I’m looking forward to filling in some gaps, but can’t help be worried as to how much will be deemed too Russian for us this time round.
Review to follow…
Too bad this still isn’t playing anywhere around here.
re: fan-subbed version - you know there are english subtitles on the official russian dvd, right? I somehow managed to get a copy a few months ago, and it’s pretty great.
Cheers Sean. I was wondering about that. But in a perfect world I want the full film AND the innovative subtitles that weave in and out of the action. Am I being greedy?
The only thing aside from the cool subs on the American version was the kid watching Buffy on TV - although the original Russian thing he was watching looked fucked up.
