Trivial. Pretentious. Beautiful.

Rating: 8/10 (16 September 2002)

This movie has a very banal script; we have the usual story of addiction and self destruction, a mix between "The Boost" and "Trainspotting".
Apart from this, almost all is perfect. Powerful acting, innovative photography, appropriate soundtrack, interesting editing and direction - a little too pervasive and self-celebrating, to be honest.
You could see this movie and don't like it because there's nothing new under the sun (and you should be right). Or, you could see this movie and just love how all things have been put together. I'm with this second party.
8/10
