Description: An anxious young tailor dominated by his father, a master of the craft, is eager to do well with his clients; but his inadequacy in measuring leaves him frustrated and humiliated. His younger sister - an expert seamstress - arrives back in town, discovers his measuring weakness and begins a cruel reign of terror over him, humiliating him in front of customers. Pushed to the edge, the young tailor heads down the nightmarish road to insanity and murder.
Quirky This is a real quirky film, and reminds me a lot of films from the early to mid 1970's. The type that were atmospheric and bizarre, but had subtle touches and a lot of restraint which made them mysterious.
yawn fest This movie is lame, slow, boring, low budget and a sad, sad pathetic excuse for a film. This doesn't even deserve one star, there is probably as much as 20 words spoken in this movie and that includes the '12, 15' for when the tailors are guessing the waist, hips, etc sizes. I was truly shocked when I saw that this had more than 1 star for the average reviews. Half of this movie is zoomed in on the main characters face while he slowly goes crazy, taking all of us with him. If this movie gets more than 1 star from you ... you really need to expand your movie collection.
dark humor This film made me wonder about all the crazy things going on in the backrooms of shops. The tailor guy is totally wacky. I thought the film had a cool, subdued mood and well-crafted, surprisingly so at the end. There were some parts that were a bit eccentric, but the maniac tailor is eccentric too. It pulled me into a weird place and time.
Uninteresting...Boring...Low Budget ... I believe next to the Trial, Kafka's depressing tale of nothingness, this low budget, terrible acting and totally insane film is the worst movie I have seen. Total waste of time and money...
spooky a different kind of thriller. creepy, eerie, takes it's time, a European-like horror film. if you're looking for cheap horror, this is not it. it's atmospheric & bizarre. effective, fairly scary portrayal of how things disintegrate little by little into meaninglessness and paranoia when someone is insane. Recommended.
