Watch CQ For Free

Very disappointed :(

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Part David Halsmanns Diary, part Alphaville and part Contempt, Roman Coppola's debut feature is a light, caring homage to the cinema of the 1960's.Everything from the sets, costumes, music, even the detail gone into the film within a film "Dragonfly" captured the era perfectly. Performances by the entire cast were spot on. Giancarlo Giannini as the old school producer who can never decide how many films he has made to Gérard Depardieu's as the director whose films have to have soul and not sell out.Biggest credit must go to Roman for choosing Jeremy Davies to play the lead, as I was constantly intrigued how a creative character like his would finish his journey in this film. Giancarlo Giannini's as the producer even mentioned "The most important part of a film is the ending, this is the last thing the audience will remember when they leave the cinema!"An important statement as Jeremy Davies goes on to finish his major film as Gérard Depardieu intended and he also got to finish his personnel film, where he discovered a lot about himself through the truth of cinema. The most enjoyable film from all the brood of Francis Ford Coppola.

I found this movie interesting for its depiction of movie making techniques in the sixties. The Eclair cameras, the editing console, the splicer, the wooden tripods -- these are the things to which I paid attention. Elodie Bouchez is a serious young actress who is always nice to watch but in this movie her weepy, bitchy character wasn't very sympathetic. The editor's concern for film as art was, but his soft-spoken, passive personality became increasingly annoying. Is this the sort of guy the blue-eyed babe (ala Barbarella) would be interested in? It's hard to believe. Gerard Depardieu had a brief appearance as the "revolutionary director" who is thrown off the project by the exasperated producer. Probably the best scene in the movie, the way he punched through the door of the screening room and shouted, "Bullshit!" was it's funniest moment. I also liked the girl in the miniskirt climbing into the car on New Years Eve who wasn't wearing any panties. Too bad there weren't a few more scenes like that.

This film is not for your average film watcher. You need to have an open mind and a good imagination. I thought this film was okay and interesting. The actress playing Dragonfly was beautiful even without the makeup. The end was great. The woman that played his wife seemed a bit harsh. The movie was good and I would not mind watching it again to make sure I caught everything.

This is one of those movies where you really need to like the genre to sit through it. I don't and didn't. It often tries too hard to be funny. If you like dreamy, psychological type movies, though, you may well like it. I gave it a 5.
