COMPUTER CHESS (2013) (dir. Andrew Bujalski) (Kriss Schludermann, Tom Fletcher)

Quote:

Set over the course of a weekend tournament for chess software programmers thirty-some years ago, Computer Chess transports viewers to a nostalgic moment when the contest between technology and the human spirit seemed a little more up for grabs. We get to know the eccentric geniuses possessed of the vision to teach a metal box to defeat man, literally, at his own game, laying the groundwork for artificial intelligence as we know it and will come to know it in the future.

man what a bizarre little movie this is. Richard Linklater seen through the eyes of David Lynch. Not surprising that no one watched it. It's a difficult movie to get in tune with. Beeswax is probably still my favourite Bujalski film, but this was pretty good. 3.5/5

This is getting the Eureka! Masters of Cinema treatment over in the UK. The Blu-ray should be good.

I tried to watch this, but it's just not very good. I love the idea and much of the acting is very naturalistic, but the movie itself is just ponderous.

It had a good premise, but would have worked a lot better if they'd played it as a straight recording of an event at that time (with the old cameras), none of the stuff that you only see in narratives.
