Strange and brilliant. Funny and sad. Weird and wonderful. Totally different and totally worth it. Rob Pattinson and David Cronenberg nailed it. And Paul Giamatti is the icing on the cake. Cosmopolis is very stylized and not for those looking for superheroes in funny suits or long boring car chases. The dialog is lifted right from the book and and the movie is faithful in tone. While it may start out as monotone or robotic, as the film progresses you can see the change overtaking the main character. At first he seems like an individual detached from the world and himself but through out the movie you see his unravelling and how his desire to find meaning to his life and a connection to people leads him to a time and a place where he can actually feel again however briefly. Robert Pattinson is incredible in David Cronenberg's sublime hands He takes us on a fantastic journey across town for a lot more than just a haircut . You may have to rewatch it to pick up on the nuances and the meaning behind the meanings, but that's part of the fun. This is the epitome of an anti popcorn movie which would have probably been better suited to an October release. Whenever you see it though, it's well worth the ride.
Pros great story, great actors, great direction
Yes, I recommend this movie.
