i saw this film on the international filmfestival rotterdam . perhaps it be due to all the great film i already saw and but i do not like this film one bit . it be full of clichés and i do not see anything original . this story have be tell a thousand time and can in holland be see every week in the true story movie series . furthermore i think that the acting by maggie cheung be to say the least not very convince . especially a a sensitive rock n roll junkie . assayas have try to show how well he can combine the feeling of a rock n roll movie with a humane drama in three language and an international setting . i wish he have focus more on the plot and less on the so called cosmopolitan setting and hadn not cast his ex wife in this film . she good at role a a femme fatale ( irma vep ) or stun girl next door ( in the mood for love ) .
