What happens when two losers are somehow given the power to make things they despise disappear off the face of the earth? That`s the premise of Nothing. As with his earlier film Cube, Vincent Natali`s has crafted a high-concept mind-game. But where Cube aimed for paranoid dread, Nothing comes across as a giddy, boundlessly energetic metaphysical romp that playfully blends special effects with manic character work. The script, by co-star Andrew Miller and Andrew Lowery, is unapologetically goofy, although there is the occasional dark-edged barb and philosophical quandary that helps to keep things sharp. The Vancouver Film Festival said: “Natali has crafted a genuinely original, visually innovative brain-bender. One thing is guaranteed: you’ve never seen anything like Nothing.” |
