If you're aiming for naturalism, you must have that I guess. Of course the movie might be too intense to watch.<br /><br />Somewhere there is a perfect movie. Some summer it will be in theaters and we'll all agree it was perfect.<br /><br />-zZarayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00336440600394588306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7823625636675642409.post-42150483536145660082011-07-27T18:02:12.493-07:002011-07-27T18:02:12.493-07:00You mentioned Midnight In Paris,, I liked it more ...You mentioned Midnight In Paris,, I liked it more than the Woody Allen movies of recent years. Light summer comedy. Would see it again, especially if an old yellow Packard gave me a ride to the theater. The characters who played the Hemingway-Stein-Fitzgerald Paris were entertaining, too bad they came and went too quickly.<br /><br />Oh, and there was a nice little moment the day after I saw Midnight In Paris.. <br /><br />The movie opens with Owen Wilson and Rachel McAdams visiting the Monet home in Giverny. The morning after the movie, when I visited a hotel in Marin County, a Mercedes was parked in a lot beside the bay. The license plate was GIVERNY.Max Clarkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07706524941272103444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7823625636675642409.post-21472768602359138972011-07-27T17:53:45.858-07:002011-07-27T17:53:45.858-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Max Clarkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07706524941272103444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7823625636675642409.post-15211723342867444022011-07-27T12:02:43.874-07:002011-07-27T12:02:43.874-07:00I saw it in the cinema.

It was beautifully written and performed but yes, it was relentless. <br />Jennifer Connolly's also in "Requiem For A Dream" - another film I can't really technically fault, I just never want to see it again because it's unremittingly bleak.Macnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7823625636675642409.post-23443588245536892872011-07-27T05:40:45.309-07:002011-07-27T05:40:45.309-07:00Absolutely agree with you on this one.

When the house lights came back on after the credits, we were all still sat there. After what felt like an eternity, everyone got up and shuffled out. No-one made eye-contact, no-one spoke until we'd exited the room. Such a strange experience. <br /><br />I don't think I've ever felt so emotionally battered by a film before or since.Ianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16910307640594817871noreply@blogger.com
