worst c.kaufman film

Rating: Null/10 (20 October 2004)

While a HUGE fan of Adaptation (one of my top 10ers) and Being John Malkovich (another great)....ESOSM is a dud.
The whole movie is spent on showing off cinemotagrophy and camera tricks, through the internal minds of these characters...and not until the end does it strike my interest. It ONLY strikes my interest at the end because it actually comes back to the story.
How long can one watch fast-paced, dizzy, dream-sequences of two people that barely get along, only to have one of them disappear and then re-appear in another place, then starting all over again in another setting?
Someone earlier compared this to Mulholland. Please don't do that.
This movie sucked...and this is coming from one fussy guy.
