Disappointing: a "stop motion" movie

Rating: 4/10 (12 October 2007)

I do not know why this movie gets so much critical acclaim. There is just no flow. No development. Things are just happening one after another. A series of long lasting photographs. Almost every shot is beautifully arranged, but so still and 'floating'. The Characters I found not very convincing. No development and true interaction (I know in Ian's case that's to be expected). Also the timing of songs like 'Love Will Tear Us Apart' and 'Isolation' in the movie is rather........eh.... cheesy.
By the way, the band playing live works really well. And Corbijn is a great, great photographer.
