My Blueberry Nights - Grim - 10-22-2008
Has anybody seen this? It was the opening film last year at the Cannes Film Festival. I'll let Wikipedia introduce the rest of the information:
Wikipedia Wrote:My Blueberry Nights is a 2007 film directed by Wong Kar-wai, starring Norah Jones and Jude Law. It also features Rachel Weisz, Natalie Portman, David Strathairn and Cat Power. The director describes it as "a story of a woman who takes the long route instead of the short one to meet up with the man she loves." It is Wong's first feature film in English.
It's a good film. The plot plays out at a leisurely pace, which means it's never confusing or hard to follow. The cinematography is fantastic with the colors just popping out. Also, awesome soundtrack music.
It's interesting to note that Norah Jones was Wong Kar Wai's only choice for the lead role. And he made it work, because despite her limited/non-existent acting experience she comes off as charming and relatable.
