A Major Disappointment
It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.
I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Aleksandr Sokurov has made a great documentary about the aging author Solzhenitsyn. The part when they walk in the forest outside Solzhenitsyns home is absolutely wonderful. Two very wise men talk about the essentialitys of life, here in the shape of a tree. "The tree is the only perfect lifeform", says Sokurov and neither Solzhenitsyn nor the viewer can say anything different after having seen The Knot.
