I'm hoping we can catch it in Biarritz.wheylonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10385268891579603619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5190627334056603500.post-59657573065172101102010-03-22T12:35:45.860-07:002010-03-22T12:35:45.860-07:00Alas, indeed.

It's joys are joys of intent, not presentation bells and whistles.<br /><br />I've been seeing the word "masterpiece" bandied about, and I think that's hype—I think there are better Polanski's—but it certainly shows a fully-engaged director not missing a chance to improve his film.

Right now, it's stuck in "Select Cities" mode until it becomes financially viable to "go wide," but that may not happen—I do notice a new advertising push for it, though.<br /><br />But it's a hoot, and you should check it out if you can."Yojimbo_5"https://www.blogger.com/profile/12791996320278381516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5190627334056603500.post-77956278200600511472010-03-13T11:47:22.366-08:002010-03-13T11:47:22.366-08:00Glad you rated this a full price ticket.
