More VIFF
Watched Clean last night, starring Maggie Cheung and Nick Nolte, directed by Olivier something or other (yeah Maggie's ex- or estranged husband, whatever). I came into it with a positive mindset, but left strangely dissatisfied. The acting was pretty good all-round, but the story seems a little... bland somehow. Though it did win awards somewhere (prob Cannes), so it could just be me.
And yes, I've heard the "it's a subtle film" argument, but, I do appreciate subtlety in films, kinda, and this one may just be so subtle it flew way over my head.
Be that as it may, have you ever noticed that the "b" in "subtle" is, well... subtle? No doubt. And if you want some advice on life, here's one: pay off all your debts.
If you didn't understand any of that, don't worry. I was being deliberately oBTuse.
....some credit and special mention goes out to wu.
