Review of Heat

Heat (1972)
5/10
Early cult film....
11 March 2010
67/100. Campy classic, extremely low budget and the third in Paul Morrissey's collaboration with Andy Warhol. The acting is quite poor, the sound quality is bad. However, it was quite frank and controversial back in 1972 with it's blunt sexuality and racy situations. It's fascinating in respect to it's historical cult significance. Supposedly based on Sunset Boulevard, but in my opinion, there is only a minimal resemblance. It has some of the worst editing I have ever seen, bad enough to severely disrupt the films flow and to the point of being distracting. The sound quality is the same way, it has a bit of an echo to it and sometimes it's difficult to distinguish what the actors are saying.
