I was watching the BRAVO program on Ang Lee's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" last night and his screenwriter for "Ride With The Devil" said that the studio basically abandoned that film during its release in Holiday season last year. It also suffered from some scathing reviews of folksinger Jewel's acting debut (I wouldn't know, haven't seen it, but can't imagine it being more painful than Madonna's "Body Of Evidence"). Thanks for reminding me about Ang Lee's lost film.
Follow Ups:
I had no problem at all with her, perhaps because I was not aware of her other line of... work.I can think of two other criticized actresses in the same "amateur" bag: Coppola's daughter in GFIII (I thought she was fine) and Bjork more recently in... what?... I didn't see it.
As to "Ride", by all means see it on the largest screen you can muster. While it's generally an intimate film focussing on the characters, there're a couple sequences that generously fill the screen with detail, notably the Sack of Lawrence. (Huh?)
