Text heavy

Rating: Null/10 (16 August 2004)

This is more like reading the film rather than watching. It is very well made and Julie Delpy is superb, only if she and Hawke acted more.
Reminds me of My dinner with andre or some Godard work.
We are forced to listen to the lyrics of the song Delpy sings towards the end, which turns her art of singing into a monologue. The only scene where there is some study of character is during the Nina Simone track, where they both let go and become themselves, not bound by the text. Superb ending.
