But you get to watch a great cinematic eye fall in love with yet another city...in fact, the Eternal one. Every outdoors shot looks like it was pulled at Magic Hour. [Maybe they can do this digitally by now, but damn if you don't instinctively get down on your knees and thank god for Kodachrome.] The scenario is typical Woodman...this time, he's even present on camera. The actors do wonderful jobs [Alec Baldwin stands out], but let's face it, this is only another European travelogue. I'm not complaining, I had a great time, if not as transcendent an experience as was PARIS. But I was thrilled to learn that Woody's next picture will be set back in the US, because I want to see him work once again in an atmosphere which doesn't overwhelm him. That leaves so much more room for the characters. [/quote]    -  HTML is OFF | Forum Code is ON   Check here to include your profile signature.
