It's a bit unsure whether the depravity it depicts is ultra cool or worthy of moral condemnation. In the end it's a bleak, three-hour, Faustian retelling of Singin' in the Rain that actually ends with its main character sitting watching Singin' in the Rain. It does feel like its use of fictional characters as representations of real people is a cop out. Very self-consciously epic, but not entirely unrewarding. It's the kind of film it's sort of worth seeing for its money-burning, but whose drawbacks ultimately drag it into mediocrity.

Popped up on Netflix so made a start with this.
At 3 hours and 8 mins I'll probably do it in 3 sittings.
Looks epic so far. Wild fun. Why wasn't it a bigger deal? The budget must be astronomical.
Rooting the one shot moving camera thing. And the parties.
I know nothing about the movie industry so let me fantasise that this is actually how they make movies.

Yeah sort of felt like they were cueing themselves up for an awards procession at the Oscars? They must have been shocked to shit when their sprawling great epic paying homage to themselves and their great and mighty craft dropped like a stone with a 57% on RT and was yesterdays news within minutes. Still, I goddamn enjoyed it. |
