Ozu_Teapot

Set in "a fictitious town called Glasgow" That Sinking Feeling is a very funny film with a great (mostly) amateur cast.

Première réalisation cinématographique du metteur en scène de "Local hero", une sympathique comédie qui n'évite pourtant pas certains écueils... www.cinefiches.com

Forsyth's debut has some great humour and acting. With strong Glaswegian accents, would have benefitted from subtitles on dialogue at times. Very enjoyable comedic romp from my teen era.

Stevie's rating of the film That Sinking Feeling

This is awesome and it only has 10 ratings on here. Great setting, great story and very amusing in a typical Glaswegian way. Forsyth's magical realism starts here and it shouldn't be missed. A very high 8/10.
