The Cat's Meow (2001 Peter Bogdanovich)

PB was not involved in the script or production - for me it somehow fails to ignite. Good lead performances - Eddie Izzard as Chaplin, Joanna Lumley a writer, Edward Herrmann as WR Hearst and Kirsten Dunst his mistress - and intriguing story set aboard WR's yacht in 1924.

Features the rich photography you'd expect from Bruno Delbonnel. And an incredibly good and long dissolve - from a coffin to the yacht.
