Pierluigi Puccini's rating of the film Break Up the Dance
Pierluigi Puccini

fun cinéma vérité. Young Polanski also had a wicked sense of humour and the fixed purpose of showing us misery anywhere we look.

Cuenta la historia que Roman Polanski hizo un montaje con ayuda de sus amigos de la escuela de cine (obviamente, estos no sabían) fabricando una fiesta a la que más tarde se unirían un grupo de vándalos que causarían destrozos. Broma pesada, pero también la esencia de lo que para el director representaba la violencia. "Break up the party" es sobre la violencia que embauca en el momento menos pensado.

boring concept, poor execution, but it was one of Polanski's first, so he deserves some leniency.
