Portishead (IPA: /pɔːtɪsˈhɛd/) is a trip hop band from Bristol, England, named after the small town of Portishead, 12 miles west of Bristol. With their use of live jazz samples and intentionally lo-fi sound, the band has been cited as influential by many modern musicians including underground producer Danger Mouse and videogame musician/producer Akira Yamaoka.

That's certainly dark in every sense of the word.

i've never seen this. and despite my love of portishead and my love of film noir,... I didn't like it.

slightly too amateurish, in lighting, in editing, in shot framing,... jeez, when did i become a film snob? crap. i hate film snobs...

a bit more contrast (some blown out whites), a bit more grit, a more 'appropriate' looking apartment/hotel setting, some scene establishing shots, and some camera movement... so bored with no activity in the background and no camera movement... glad i hung in there for the death scene, which is soo bad its almost like they were making fun of film noir.

picking such a good song as background was a savy choice, otherwise nobody would see this.
