SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Please don't spend money on this.

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

***mild spoilers*** This is an extremely stylized version of Camille, using operatic acting and sets, and absurd melodramatic techniques. Schmid was a colleague of Fassbinder, and uses many of the master's post-modern camera and performance techniques. For those who can appreciate the style, it's beautifully accomplished. If only Robert Taylor had dug up Garbo's corpse (it's in the novel)!
