The sad thing is that it very seldom happens to me these days. I would say that if filmmakers will not begin to dismiss the ubiquitous requirement to “dumb down” their work, imposed on them since script development until the distribution then we have failed miserably as a species Icapable of clear cognition. And why such requirement exists at all? The answer is obvious - rationalized greed.
This exact rationale behind the “dumb it down” is our current zeitgeist, our present, our “today” and there is no area of contemporary human behaviour that is free from it. We stand with our backs against the wall. I see no other option than to fight it and “Free Range” is just that. A starter: a soft rangefinding jab with a left. Photos: Maxim Mjodov Maxim Photos:
