Summary: Disappointing
Comment: This movie according to other reviews from previous buyers left me hoping for more. Frankly did not understand, maybe it was just me. Ellen Barkin is a beautiful lady, but was poorly utilized in this movie. Would not recommend to anyone. She wore that red dress out and constantly on the run.

Summary: great ending

Summary: Siesta
Comment: Exotic, filmed in Spain; great soundtrack (Miles Davis); Definitely not for the kiddies, adult subject matter. Short "Fellini-esque". I liked the twist at the end.

Summary: Raw sexual power simmering in a melancholy jazz-fusion score
Comment: This film has been so unfairly derided. Yes, it has a SIMILAR conceit to Jacob's Ladder and Carnival of Souls, duh, but it's treatment of 'death's door' is very different. I read the script, and some curious changes were made by final cut, as in the final words "How can this be true when I feel so much pain" has been altered to "How can this be true when I feel so much love." Hmmmm. Anyway, there are some remarkable moments in this tale of a 'lost soul,' many of which belong to Jodie Foster embodied as an angel wrapped in eurotrash drag, and Julian Sands, delightful as a satyric guide. There are some choppy sections, looked like budget probs to me, and Marcus Miller kind of overdoes the synth effects a coupla times, but it's still a cut above most sludge out there... and it has SOMETHING on its mind, thank God. A scene between Ellen barkin and Gabriel Byrne in the daylight outside of a school house has startling sexual power, and they have all their clothes on!
Enjoy. And get the soundtrack just for "Theme for Augustine."
Customer Rating:
Summary: Dull!
Comment: This movie comes from nowhere and goes nowhere. It is photographed in such dark tones that it is often near impossible to see what's happening, which isn't much anyway. The background music has to be one of the most annoying scores ever composed. Characters wander in and out without explanation, or reason, with the result that you just don't care about any of them.
