Did "Autofocus" win any Oscars? |

Edited on Sun Nov-09-03 11:25 PM by khephra
I'm only a bit of the way into watching it, but I keep on asking myself, "Chicago won Best Picture and Autofocus didn't???"
It's the "Boogie Nights" of Bob Crane movies.
:evilgrin:
The set, costume design, and music is also knocking my socks off!

1. When did it come out (ie was it eligible last time or next time)? |
|
I saw it, and it was quite an interesting movie. I always loved watching "Hogan's Heroes"--still do--and I had no idea about Bob Crane's bizarre lifestyle. BTW, your comments on the movie absolutely make sense to me.

2. I'm not sure about the release date |
|
But I think it was during the same time as Chicago.
Thanks about the "comments" bit. It really does have a weird "Boogie Nights" vibe to it...and I'm not just talking subject matter. There's also a bit of a David Lynch feeling to it to, and that's not just because his g/f did the music either.

3. I dont think it won a thing. |
|
I was probably to dark. I thought it was a great film. It does an excellent job of showing how a person can slip into bad habits in such a methodical way. I watch it 3 times before I took it back. Stupid late fees. My wife was getting worried. Great film!!!!

4. There were many glaring errors in the costume dept. |
|
Check out the clothes, particularly the shoes, many of the women are wearing. We're talking stripper circe 1992 here. Such a shame, considering the obvious care taken by the Production Designer.
But it's a great movie none the less. We bought a copy, even!
