I agree with your assessment. I didn't hate it, I just found it empty.Water Drops on Burning Rocks...was that the Fassbinder play that came out as a film a few years ago? Yeah, ditto that. Why make movies like that? There's nothing to them.
I forget...what was your take on The Man on the Train? I thought that was decent, as a character study...sorta fell apart at the end, though. Speaking of which, I found the 'twist' of Swimming Pool to be utterly straight. Some people 'round these parts expressed confusion, which is confusing, as there's nothing very confusing about the end.
D'ya think Rampling's character was consciously modelled on Patricia Highsmith?
And where the hell do you live, anyway? You seem to see every film that come out...
Follow Ups:
You know, the Water I liked, of course that was a couple of years back, but I thought there was enough artistic merit in the movie, so I enjoyed it. Yes, it is the Fassbinder writing.Agree on the Man on the Train - enough interest and good acting in it to compensate for the weak ending.
I don't know Patricia enough to answer your question, unfortunately.
Your last point... I live in the movies capital of the world - Delaware USA... but we are fortunate here to have one REALLY well-stocked store. However, I do not deserve the honor of having seen every film out there - I am way behind TAFKA Steve in that respect - and I suspect by now he has seen every film on Earth twice already!
