Letterboxd — Your life in film

the meaningful gaze across the dance floor while everyone else got low means that camp is still alive

why not make an agatha christie adaptation actually about a agatha christie book? why not use her genius solves and mysteries, instead of making something distinctly not genius?

aidan turner didn’t have to do that

the one star is because they at least cast a phillip lombard with some rizz

the world just wasn’t ready for this in 1998

upon further reflection, this is the perfect movie

I think, if you hadn’t read the book, this film would be nearly incoherent. Stripped of all meaning and heart, this shortened version of the story felt neutered and pathetic. They cast great actors who had no room to play within this short and bizarre script. The original book is a love letter to reading and to books—that’s gone entirely. In its place is bad direction and flimsy artistic choices. This should have been a miniseries and, I can hope, someday it will be.

no one can make me smile at quiet ennui and aching sensitivity like wes anderson can
