Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

Directed by Philippe Mora. A down-and-out film director has a vision he wants to bring to the big screen. The problem is that he doesn’t have the money to pull it off. When all else fails, he decides to burn down his own house to collect insurance money in order to finance his film. Soon everyone wants a piece of the action. Burning Down the House is an unflinching and out-of-control black comedy in the flavor of The Player and Mistress.

3.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable, June 6, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Burning Down the House (DVD)
It's always a pleasure to watch John Savage and this movie is no exception. He plays a Hollywood director who's desperate to rekindle his career. So desperate that he would do almost anything, including destroying the only thing he has left: his home. Unfortunately for him, more and more people get wind of his deed and now everybody wants a piece of the action.

Unfortunately the DVD does not have a lot of extras. Only two: a picture gallery and the electronic press kit. Although John Savage has not been interviewed for the press kit, it's well worth watching for the comments of the other actors and the director. The picture quality of the DVD was not very good, but I might just have gotten a flawed copy.

Burning Down the House is a low budget independent movie and will not be to everybody's taste, but if you like black off-the-wall comedies go for it. ;-)

4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable black comedy, May 30, 2003
This review is from: Burning Down the House (DVD)
Anything with the great John Savage catches my eye. Here he plays an out of work film director who ends up desperately burning down his home to finance his next project. Film has some very funny moments wrapped around the desperation of the characters. Arye Gross is also particularly funny (and a cameo by Mick Fleetwood). I would describe the film as a low budget version of "The Player". Not perfect but worth a look.
