Lost In Arrogance

Rating: 2/10 (10 October 2006)

Let me go ahead and get this out there: I like theater, dramas and serious films. That being said this movie just didn't do it for me. If you want fatalistic irony then you are much better off reading a Thomas Hardy novel. This movie was so blatantly narcissistic that I almost couldn't stand it. The characters were annoying and far too passive for me to relate to and of course there is no plot (by design) so it doesn't really leave much to love. I guess smart people are scared of saying they might not like a "smart movie" because I can't imagine any other reason why this movie got such great reviews. The cinematography is okay but even "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" had similar beautiful Asian landscapes and a plot to boot.
