A modestly pleasant diversion - leave before the Antonioni

Wong Kar Wai does a reprise of In the Mood for Love. A sadder, but wiser (and shorter) version. Rich sumptuous imagery.

Sonderburgh does a cute little comedic turn. Alan Arkin and Robert Downey have a surprising chemistry. At least someone will still make movies with Downey

Antonioni does a soft porn film. I think it was a great way to get handsome women to take off their clothes and sooth his old age. Naked on the beach playing in the waves. And even horses for the girls. For the men there is a really swell new Maseratti convertible with leather seats and side mirrors that swivel in for tight spots. Really - no fraud like an old fraud.

score 5/10
