insignificance be a far from great film and from a stage play and direct by nic roeg . in the scheme of roeg film and this be above the level of most of his post don not look now work and which be characterise by judicious use of theresa russell a lead actress . she actually very good here and and far from the problem in other roeg film like bad timing and cold heaven . a the actress and who be marilyn monroe and russell be very effective and portray her a a thoroughly depressive and but likeable siren . she play well alongside michael emil a einstein and who be excellent to say the least . he look the part admirably and and while theresa russell doesn not look exactly like monroe and she certainly be attractive enough to make the part ring true . other player be adequate if not quite as arrest a emil and russell be . a pretty workable and intelligent script be direct well by roeg and but certainly not brilliantly and like walkabout or performance . a in other late roeg film and he tend to rely too much on vague and insubstantial flashback and that add very little to the film . in many way the film would have work well a a shorter ( say and 60 minute ) and more modest piece . still and a quite acceptable and passable film . at time quite excellent and but somewhat lacking overall . rating represent half or .
