The Dark Wind (1991)
The tell-tale sign is the microphone
It was hard to take this movie seriously because those who made it obviously did not. I counted 3 times that the microphone for sound dipped down into the scene that was being filmed. Sloppy work and the actors seemed to be mumbling, but maybe that was my reaction to the microphone dipping down. The actors are well known but this time they seemed to be acting by rote. If this is the Morris who does the documentaries then he would be well advised to stick to them and to get a new sound guy. I found the plot hard to follow as all the main activity is either in the past or happens off screen . What is difficult to take are the remarkable discoveries that the main character makes piecing it all together and the minimal response this sleuthing evokes in the other characters.Something went wrong while this movie was being made. Again no-one seems to have viewed the final cut or the would have edited out the microphones.
