Fatigue – Don´t play with the fire

I’m a film student currently studying in London and have been researching ultra low budget films that have received a UK release. This film (on DVD) was recommended to me by a friend,Despite the previous reviews, I was impressed by ‘Fatigue’. For sure the script and acting are rough in places but the ambition, style and the pacing of the film is very good and the ending has a very dark payoff that I didn’t see coming. This film was obviously shot on 16mm and it’s grainy lo-fi feel definitely adds to the mood of the piece.As a film student hoping to eventually direct features, I was totally intrigued by it’s low budget origins and the trials the filmmakers went through to get it finished. Despite it’s ultra low budget flaws, it’s – well worth a watch.
