  My friend who is in the music business had a few years ago a dinner with GH, and after I ask him how this guy was...terribly nice, he said.
  And so he must have been.

  ***capturing the spirit of the bohemian 1960's like a butterfly in a jar

  That somehow makes a good film? There are MANY things you can catch the spirits of quite perfectly, that I would not want to be part of.

  Need I even list a few of those?

  I think that "British"... "Italian"... "Russian"... excuse is rather lame. I can appreciate art from just about any country... as long as it is just that - art. OK... not necessarily art, even... but something of human interest with a dash of imagination thrown in.

  I can understand - to a small degree - the warm feelings of familiarity. I could probably relate to a few things many people would find objectionable, as they were part of my growing up. I would not, however, consider that fact as sufficient to elevate something I would otherwise would not want to see, to the art status.

    Well this film has the " cult " statue somehow, and it has some good moment I feel.
    As for being ART...

    At least see the movie before dismissing it. It's one of my faves, and has been for years. It has a wonderful subtlety that's missing from most modern movies. A real gem IMHO. Doug

      Where did you get the idea that I didn't see it?
