Very good but that first sex scene went on for so long that by the end it had my laughing. So when the second came around I could only picture Mr./Miss Garrison yelling, "yeah, scissor me!"
Appealing to the empathy and good will of an angry hooded mob seems like a pretty risky gambit. It would have been more believable if they all lynched him since they (thought they) would inherit everything.
Judging from the majority of his body of work, I'm now convinced Gus Van Sant's career is just an elaborate ploy to get young men he fancies to take their clothes off.
Having been to Russia and The Hermitage and picking up quite a lot of Russian history, I still find this films content to be considerably esoteric. It is not so much a history lesson as it is an occasional milieu of famous peoples and events from which this viewer feels completely removed.
The praise for this film, I feel relies too much upon the - dare I say - gimmick of the one take wonder. It is beautiful, but it pales to the awe of walking the salons of the Winter Palace in person. It is also accomplished but all the technical brilliance can't conceal the - possibly erudite, but in my mind - whimsically vague wanderings of two ethereal men-out-of-time.
The one scene(?) I did find intriguing was in front of Rembrandt's Danae. "This painting and I share a secret." Indeed.
This film has a lot of bad points. The horrible electronic score I found to be the most irritating. New Line got their hands on the rights and all they do with it is rehash the worst ideas from the Elm Street franchise.

Aaron Paul is still a 'TV actor' at this stage. Hopefully a good director will help him with the transition in the future.Movie comment on Wadjda

I wonder how long it will be when the Middle East looks back on films like this and views it the same way the west views the works of Jane Austen?The family tree element was heartbreaking enough.

The Final Friday. *double smirk*This film has a lot of bad points. The horrible electronic score I found to be the most irritating. New Line got their hands on the rights and all they do with it is rehash the worst ideas from the Elm Street franchise.

"Gentlemen, what seems to be the problem?"I would have loved to see that ending. Copyright laws ruin all the fun.
