a big disappointment for what be tout a an incredible film . incredibly bad . very pretentious . it would be nice if just once someone would create a high profile role for a young woman that be not a prostitute . we do not really learn anything about this character and except that he seem to be a hopeless alcoholic . we do not know why . nicholas cage turn in an excellent performance a usual and but i feel that this role and this script let him down . and how and after not be able to perform for the whole film and can he have an erection on his deathbed . really terrible and i felt like i need a bath .
