after read fool for love in a drama class of mine and i be look forward to see how sam shepard wonderful play would be translate to the screen . much to my dismay and it be nowhere near as entertaining a the play . the film seem to drag and the music be inappropriate for the tone of the movie and and all the raw energy of the play seem to have be suck out of this film version . it a shame to see this come out this way even with shepard involvement and play the role of eddie . do yourselves a favor . see the play next time it be perform in your area or simply read the book instead .
