Not your mother's Paris

Rating: 8/10 (9 June 2001)

Greetings again from the darkness. OK, take out your movie blender. Start with a base of "Fantasia", now add a dose of "Tommy", a bit of "Jesus Christ Superstar", a pinch of "Rocky Horror Picture Show" and top it off with "Shakespeare in Love". You get the idea. This is a fun filmgoing experience that takes you for a wild ride and keeps your eyes moving all over the screen. Some good performances ... Nicole Kidman really shines in a totally different role for her. I get the idea they set out to make a cult classic. Probably will not work because the teenagers aren't going to flock to it. Maybe a touch overdirected, but still a must see.
