A noisy, witless film

Rating: Null/10 (1 June 2001)

Unless you are craving to hear people screaming at each other or to sit through unimaginative choreography for two hours, avoid this disjointed cinematic contraption involving one of the least photogenic support cast I ever recall seeing on screen. Not only are they not a pleasant sight, but the director insists on constantly filling the screen with their grimacing faces. How much teeth, gums, tongue and bulging eyeballs can one stand ? The storyline is insipid, the acting mechanical, the editing choppy and distracting.
One thing is certain in my mind: if Moulin Rouge had offered the kind of noisy and uninspired music heard on this film, the chances are very slim that it would have been the setting for a film a century later.
