Featured review
A Documentary That Teaches Nothing
The Wormwood Star (1956)
** (out of 4)
Have you heard of artist Marjorie Cameron? If not then you'd think watching this documentary from Curtis Harrington would help you learn more about her but that's certainly not the case as this nine minute short is quite confused on what it's actually trying to do. The film offers up a very good and captivating music score and there's a little narration but the majority of the running time is dedicated to various images, which I'm going to guess are the work of the subject. The camera slowly pans in and out on these images throughout the running time. Yes, that's pretty much all that happens in this film that manages to be rather boring considering its short running time. There's really nothing bad here but at the same time there's certainly nothing good enough to make you want to recommend this to anyone other than the director's die hard fans who must see everything that he did.
