Its about the time... and music.

Cannes 2013: Interesting choice for "instagramic" iconography puts this Cohen picture among one of the most "mature" works. Oscar Issac is on the rise!! I've seen 4 films with him in the last 9 months! This guy's been busy and justly so - he adds a unique flavor (due to his ethnicity) to everything he touches! Great pace, sharp dialog (as always) and a real treat of having a cameo by "maestro Salieri himself" the great F. Murray Abraham. It definitely managed to impose a "melancholic disposition" in me after seeing it... I wonder how will it work with the "hipster" audience who seem to be crazy about the era story is set in.
