awful . awful . awful . no and i do not like it . it be obvious what the intent of the film be represent to track the wheeling and dealing of the mover and shaker who produce a film . in some case and these be people who represent themselves a other than what they be . i do not need a film to tell me how shallow some of the people in the film industry be . i suppose i be at fault really because i expect something like roman holiday . i be not a movie maker nor do i take film class but it appear to me that the film consist of a series of two shot ( in the main ) where the actor ( . ) have be supply with a loose plot line and they be to improvise the dialogue . henry jaglon make the claim that he along with victoria foyt actually write the screenplay but the impression be that the actor and cognisant of the general direction of the film and extemporise the dialogue and it be not always successful . such a case in point be when ron silver make some remark which really do not flow along the line of the conversation ( and i be not go back to look for it . ) and greta scacchi break into laughter even though they be suppose to be have a serious conversation and because silver remark be such a non sequitur . you get the impression too that one actor deliberately try to wrong foot the other actor and break his or her concentration . another instance of this be when a producer tell silver to bring the and % # @ # ^ document ( 3 time ) . silver look literally lose for word . i have see one other film which look like a series of drama workshop on improvisation and that be awful too . the fact that jaglon be able to attract greta scacchi ( no stranger to australia ) and ron silver and anouk ami and and maximilian schell suggest it be a low news week for them . peter bogdanovich have a what the hell be i do here look on his face at all time and i expect to hear him say represent look and i be a director and screenwriter not an actor which would have be unnecessary to state . faye dunaway seem more interested in promote her son and liam . apart from the jerky delivery of the dialogue and the hand hold camera become irritate even if it be for verisimilitude a i suspect the natural dialogue be and the interest in the principal become subsume to the interest in the various youth walk along the strand try to insinuate themselves into shot . that at least approached cinema verite . so that and along with the irritate french singing during which i use the mute button and make for a generally disappointing 90 odd minute . i think we should avoid apotheosise film such a this . try to see value in the film where it have little credit in order to substantiate a perceived transcendental level to it be misguide . there be really nothing avant garde about it . it do not come across a a work of art and yet it wasn not a documentary either . i know and it be a mocumentary but the real test be whether it be entertain . i be bore out of my skull . it do have one redeeming feature represent it pronounce cannes correctly so i give it negative .
