Cinema Cycle - Random Harvest


CINEMA CYCLE
(Cardio Workout And Reviewing Movies At The Same Time)



SYNOPSIS: A World War One veteran loses his memory, then gets it back.

CONCEPT IN RELATION TO THE VIEWER: An odd love affair that appears to have no real driving force, save for infatuation.

PROS AND CONS:  
Didn’t know what to make of this film when I started watching it. The acting seemed off and the character’s motivations were not really comprehensible.

By the time the movie was half over, it started to get a little interesting, but in a sort of “WTF” way. Again, the motivations and actions of the main characters were just surreal and made little sense.

By the time the happy ending comes around, it is fulfilling but you are still left scratching your head. This film relies heavily on the concept of total amnesia and loss of memory.

This film is a part of my LaserDisc Collection.

Clicking on the title will take you to the Internet Movie Database (IMDB) entry for this film. 

This film was viewed while exercising on my recumbent cycle.  A summary of my time spent working out on my journey through movie-land can be found on Strava.com.
