Thanks for the memories!
Such a frustrating disappointment
The acting in this movie is really good.
Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
I really think this movie is terrible. I bought it in Paris because it came free with Mean Streets(a real movie) . The plot is totally ludicrous. What was the story with the weird stone? I have never seen such a load of garbage in my life. This movie is real gay. i felt so strongly about this that i should warn people about it. I would have expected an awful lot more from Harvey Keitel. Seeing him like this is like seeing Clint Eastwood sweeping the dirt at your feet. Do not watch this movie. What really annoys me is that I actually paid money for this tripe. Had i known it was so bad, i would have bought Mean Streets elsewhere. I never heard of this film before i bought it. it is so gay
I was hoping the story line would pick up, but scenes were thrown in that didn't make sense, or didn't provide answers. True, no chemistry between Mira Sorvina and Harvey Keitel. I figured having heavyweights like Vanessa Redgrave, Willem Defoe, Gina Gershon, and Mandy Pantikin would add some depth, but their talents were wasted on a very abstract story. Overall, I was very disappointed. I expected more of this movie, because Vanessa Redgrave, Willem Defoe, and Gia Gershon are very good at doing independent and unusual movies. Anytime I see the name Vanessa Redgrave, I figure I'm in for a good movie. But I was let down completely by the story and cast!
I see that opinions for Lulu are either 'I loved it' or 'I hated it.' There's a good reason. This is a very different film, with spiritual and other-worldly overtones -- it's definitely spooky. I could not have imagined where the story finally ended up, but it requires a lot of imagination to understand it (think, "Where does the mind go when it loses consciousness? And, what is the real meaning of 'time'?"). If you don't like it, that's fine -- maybe you just don't get it. Nothing wrong with that -- it's pretty deep. But for me, it's a form of pure entertainment that I cannot find anywhere else. I loved it. I bought a copy on DVD. I tell my friends about it. The ending is a definite surprise, but there are lots of other surprises throughout. Why not find out for yourself?
It is unique opportunity to see good American movie. For thinking, not brainless people. I haven't seen for a long time an american movie I wouln't be able to guess the ending. This one really surprised me. I see two parralels to other artists.My first impression - this film has a lot of Krzysztof Kieslowski spirit. I can see the same sadness of loneliness in Mira Sorvino's eyes as in Irene Jacob eyes in "Double life of Veronique". LULU tells the same story - how lonely we are on this planet.Second impression - the movie is similar to "The Sixth Sense" in matter of post mortem life. It's hard to guess what is real, and what is imagination.Great movie for thinking people. Very positive surprise. And Lou Reed as "not Lou Reed" - great joke.
