Watch Cosmopolis For Free

Sorry, this movie sucks

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

The first must-see film of the year.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

A film that leaves you feeling, "WTF?" This avant-garde work oozes with symbolism and metaphors. The first one you should pick up on is the rat. The rat symbolizes a universal currency when society is at its lowest point. Toward the end of the film, Eric's barber comments "You're hair is ratty." Investor Eric Packer (Robert Patterson) represents all rich people whose world must be destroyed to make way for the new. This is your basic Phoenix or Shiva philosophy. Eric is being driven through NYC as all kind of events are happening outside of his limo. Eric is shielded from these events as his financial world goes to ruin. The world outside passes by almost in a surreal fashion and at times he blocks it out altogether.We have the destruction idea as Eric has bet against the Yuan, Chinese currency. The theory implies that China is the new empire built upon the ashes of our American empire. Don't bet against it.The people who enter Eric's cab appeal to be bits and pieces of his psyche. This is brought out when one woman who prattles on about philosophy (some key metaphor points) and claims she is his "Chief of Theory." Sarah Gadon plays Eric's trophy wife, a woman he knows nothing about and hasn't slept with. Their whole relationship was odd and clearly symbolic of...God knows what. Eric builds his world on formula and balance when life has neither.For people who like their films straight forward, forget it. Good luck with this one.Parental Guide: F-bomb, sex, full frontal nudity (Patricia McKenzie). Perhaps the longest "finger wave" in film history.

This is a completely ambiguous (although not exactly bad) movie, which personally inspired me to read the novels of the author of the idea and one of the co-authors of the scenario of postmodernist Don De Lillo. I do not think that even because of Robert Pattinson "Cosmopolis" like all the fans of the vampire movie "Twilight" - this is a completely different kind and different style of the film. I would even say a little crazy and chaotic. Do you know what he looks like? On what is happening in each of us in the head ... Each of us, when we are awake and not focused on something important and concrete, hundreds of thoughts, thoughts, memories sweep through our heads. If you take them to voice - then you'll surely roar in a psychiatric hospital, because no one in the world, except ourselves, is able to catch the interconnections of this "brain kaleidoscope." This is our inner universe, our cosmos, which for outsiders is never completely incomprehensible. That's the hero of Pattinson - multi-billionaire Eric Packer - even those who know him well can not be fully understood. Of course, it is clear that he is devilishly bored, being unable to at least rejoice or grieve. Neither sex, nor frenzied profits, nor so mad losses, nor crazy and useless acquisitions for fantastic sums, nor even murder, can not excite him. And you want to worry ... And as a person who has not fought for a banal survival for a day in his life, did not live on wages, did not submit to anyone and (without having everything that can be bought for money) did not dream at all - how to "get him" its "rich inner world"? How can he learn to enjoy simple things - like good weather, the opportunity to buy new shoes or affectionate SMS from his beloved woman? Oh yes - he does not have such a thing and can not be. Love in an atmosphere of boredom and cold does not live ... The wife of Packer, incidentally, is just as unhappy self-centered. But even she became uncomfortable with him-not even two weeks after the wedding ... How can he be upset with simple things-like leaving a partner, losing money or damaging an expensive car, if he does not care about a partner in general (there are many others, and he does not need to win them) , losses will not drive him to live in a slum, and such machines he nemereno? However, it seems the last frame makes it clear that Eric finally succeeded in something to FEEL. Well done, ran into and achieved the goal ... And paid, as always, expensive. So, about incomprehensibility - not satiated people can understand why Packer is bored. But how to understand how he can generally be bored with such and such opportunities? Director David Cronenberg, in my opinion, greatly complicated himself the task - to shoot the event HISTORY in - mostly - a limited space (whether it is a submarine, a room or - in this case - a limousine) is extremely difficult. It would seem, well, that such - the rich man in a limousine rides and dumps the listener with sarcastic monologues. What's in this movie? But the movie! And cult star Robert Pattinson is very good here. Packer at the actor turned out clean, tough and infernally inviting. The role of a person who does not know how to be happy, in my opinion, he has worked flawlessly. ... By the way, this Cronenberg film with its desperate atmosphere reminded me of the novels of the Frenchman Serge Bruissolo, a great lover of exploring (and fascinatingly telling) the origins of the most strange and crazy human deeds. NOT FOR ALL ..... 7 out of 10.

Riding across Manhattan in a stretch limo in order to get a haircut, a 28-year-old billionaire asset manager's day devolves into an odyssey with a cast of characters that start to tear his world apart. Cosmopolis in my opinion is one of the most underrated weird movies i've ever seen it's basically about a rich guy living in a world where the rich rule the world and the poor live on the streets and they have some kind of king "The Rat" and this guy called Eric is an insane guy with a lot of money who cheated his wife like 3 or 4 times, shot his bodyguard and was hit by a pie on the face and in the process he tracks down the guy who wants to kill him. First of all Robert Pattinson gives a great performance in this movie alongside Paul Giamatti, Sarah Gadon and the rest of the cast and crew. I watched this on theaters a couple of years ago and my experience was pretty bad people walked out of the theater screaming and calling names the actor and the movie and demanding their money back but honestly what did you except it's a film that went to Cannes and got directed by Cronenberg about the economic crisis and a guy who is insane and even shoots his own hand because he thinks he is the king of the world. Cosmopolis is by no means a classic but it's by no means a bad film and it deserves better respect for what it tried to do and if you watch it for the first time just do your research and learn what you're getting yourself into but also if you hated it the first time try to give it a 2nd chance and try to study the film closely because it's nowhere near as bad as Maps to the Stars was not even close.

One evening I tried to watch it (up to somewhere 20 -30 min) and I found it too complex to follow. I gave up and decided to watch it again when I am not tired and can follow the plot. I haven't read the book so I can not comment and can not make comparisons with it.Next day I enjoyed it more and was able to use the IP TV functions to go back to the most compacted wording scenes and was able to better follow the plot. I was fascinated by the surrealistic and exaggerated character of Eric Packer. Compare it to "The Wolf of Wall street" - Cosmopolis is the dark and ugly side of it.The pacing in the first part and after meeting (the character) Benno Levinis, cutting the world of Eric in two. Just like when I lost my job as a senior finance manager and had to stay 11 month at home - the change in pace is breathtaking and mind blowing. You have to experience to believe it possible! A film packed with existential quotes ... a truly European film. July 2016
