Sandra Hallâs review of Dr Plonk, is in reality very little of a review, and more a description of its story, and some scoops on how it was made.
She talks briefly of how Rolf De Heer, director of Dr Plonk, came upon the decision to make the film, and suggests that shooting it the way he did isnât an easy task. De Heer who shot Dr Plonk on a hand-cranked camera after discovering 20,000ft of unused out of date film stock in a refrigerator, is treated as somewhat of a genius of Australian film for Plonk and his previous work Ten Canoes, which is why this âreviewâ suffers. Hall fails to really get critical in her piece, and the article tends to move a way from being a review, to instead be a synopsis with side-notes on the production. The writing tends to be overly positive, and ceases to point out features, of which the author may have been critical.
If youâre just getting started in your research, or only want a basic understanding of what Dr Plonk is about and how it got to the silver screen, then this article is a good place to start. However if youâre looking for something more in-depth, you will be disappointed. |
