reception

criticism

The film received praise when it premiered in London. For Christopher Miles, who was still unknown at the time, it was a rather surprising reaction from the usual British audience at the time, who reacted calmly to everything. Generous praise and good timing for a film that parodied director styles for the first time, as well as funny scenes, it was said, would have led to the success of the film. They also got tired of the rather boring short films that often ran before the main film.

The maker of the film, Christopher Miles, found the following press statements regarding the film worth quoting (all translated accordingly):

"Putting all of the cinematic experiences into half an hour is quite unsettling, but that's what a brilliantly talented young director, Christopher Miles, did with 'The Six-sided Triangle' - each of these episodes is a satirical delight," judged the Evening News magazine , London.
"... the boring Bergman meal is very amusing, this is how the passionate Italian's outburst to Sarah Miles is to be understood, who after finishing an endless meal is subtly subtitled: 'I like your bosom' ... The observation of the film styles is knowledgeable, but not pretentious ”, judged The Observer magazine .
"... The parodies are very cleverly accompanied by music and noises and rounded off with dialogues as subtitles as well as the scenery and good play of the actors," said the Daily Telegraph . The Evening Standard said that it was "an excellent story about love affairs."
The Sunday Times praised the Swedish example, saying the death symbols and strawberries were the best, as was the good observation. The Daily Mirror found that the star of the film was Christopher Miles' sister Sarah, who is versatile as a six-time heroine. This ironic, sarcastic, funny half-hour film shows a talent that can achieve something.

Sky believed that this independently filmed film by Christopher Miles had a big impact, but that the satire was only sporadically amusing, with the Swedish episode particularly prominent.
