Gregor Jordan Talks About The Informers

Moviehole has an interview with Gregor Jordan about The Informers. He talks a bit about the reviews so far and says everyone was aware this would be a 'polarizing' film in terms of reviews.

We also might get to see all the cut vampire scenes in the DVD.

Possibly. I mean, it was very interesting trying to cut this movie, because the script was quite unwieldy. Well, you know, it was long and unwieldy. Because, you know, Bret put a lot in there. And what we decided to do was just shoot it all. Knowing that we were going to find the film in the cutting room, in a sense. So there was actually a lot of really fantastic scenes that aren't in the movie, that really deserve to get seen, I think. Because there's such - you know, as just sort of isolated scenes, I think they're really interesting moments. So whether or not that comes out on the DVD, or whether - you know, maybe they'll put it on the Internet, or something like that - you know, yes. know.

Positive Review For The Informers

A positive review of The Informers. Its interesting that this reviewer likes the film for the same reasons that many have panned it.

The film intentionally (and beautifully) over-saturates and overindulges itself - with such deliberateness that it sometimes feels like it was actually made in '83. Everything about it lulls you into that dark, steamy, predictable, naive and shockingly shiny 80's aesthetic. The delivery is so seductive that you come quickly to expect that big 80's ending - a big moral resolution - or maybe even a series of small ones that magically explain how all these people effected each other. Thankfully, there is nothing of the sort.

The Informers Opening Scene

Some priaise for the opening scene of The Informers.

One of the best openings of a film I've ever seen. Featuring an opulent mansion house in the 80, it's set in LA and there's a party going on and we hear Simple Minds' New Gold Dream (81-82-83-84) playing loudly.
