He's talented - why did he remake Psycho? "It was my sort of anti-remake statement!" It ended up being not a shot by shot remake because it had to have its own life. Danny Elfman scored it, and said the critics would kill him, which they did.
Written by Matt Damon and Ben Affleck (AA), with Robin Williams (AA), Stellan Skarsgaard, Minnie Driver (who's fabulous - her giggles sound real, then she made me cry when Damon dumps her. Not really made it - all TV lately).
Music Danny Elfman, ph. Jean-Yves Escoffier.
Interesting positioning of camera / lenses. Good interplay between Williams and Damon (something about 'the bad stuff reminds you of the good things you were too busy to notice'). Great ending (Affleck, then car on road). Well overdue.
