beautiful. The glidecam or crane work that they used was first rate. That being said I would much rather have watched a behind the scenes on the technical and lighting aspects of this muddled, self-indulgent, art-house portfolio piece then the "film" itself. **someone count how many times the camera is shot into the sun--characters moving in and out of the way of the sun etc. Visually a great look, but in every scene (regardless of whether the director is trying to tell us something about the "light" in the sky, heavenly themes etc)...simply overused.
I felt like Kevin Bacon in footloose when his shoes were tied to the tracker and kept trying to jump off. I would have left if I had any other plans or if the cine-file couple next to me in the bk theater weren't painfully trying to act interested for fear of seeming stupid to their counterpart. It simply didn't matter what happened at the end of the film, I got the point in the beginning...that I wasn't going to get the point. It's not that I'm thick or didn't pay attention, it's that I didn't care...and neither will you.
This is a rental since it's appeal is so unknown. Chances are the regular Joe wants it off, and I can guarantee you that the blond gf in the room grabs the US weekly within the first five minutes.
I am 28 year old filmmaker and actually embrace indie art-house pictures. This was just so over the top I can't recommend seeing it in the theaters. But again, the movement of the cameras throughout were inspirational.
No, I do not recommend this movie.
