Pierre & Luigi


This film, by Brickfilming regular Nick Durron, tells the story of two restaurants in New York, battling it out for the customers. I really like the idea behind it, and the special effects are wonderful (it was nominated for Best Visual Effects in the BiM Awards 2008), but some sequences are quite abrupt and unprofessional. The music is perfect, though it can be a bit too much sometimes. It's a good film, but what really let it down for me was the vocal work for Pierre - it seems like the actor was walking away from the microphone, then towards it, creating an unstable sound level. Besides that, his French accent is not the best! Overall, it's got a great screenplay, but Pierre & Luigi has some flaws which could really have been seen and corrected before the film was released.
