This film, on the other hand, seems to have been showered with awards - namely best film, director, camera and script at the Oscars. OK, Emmanuel Lubezki is deserving for his invisible lighting and continuous (looking) takes, but we weren't sure about it. For one thing - like its antecedent Rope - it has the effect of leaving the audience a little cold - the technique is actually distracting. I'm not sure Howard Hawks would have liked it!
Still, well played by Michael Keaton. Emma Stone, Zach Galifianakis, Edward Norton, Naomi Watts, Andrea Riseborough, Merrit Wever and Lindsay Duncan. It's good to see actors who have the balls to appear in something like this.
Has a feeling of Soy Cuba and an echo of Stalker.
I think also that it's further evidence that Iñárritu's best films were with Arriaga, but let's say no more until Viewing #2.
