a bender

Rating: 7/10 (6 November 2015)

so.... i swear this film was produced by rupert murdoch or some gov. agency to make mass surveillance seem not so bad after all compared with say murder n mayhem that the baddies are usually up to in these films.
we came away from seeing this movie saying, there wasn't so much at stake here, as in skyfall or most films, it was " just" surveillance.
aside from that quirk the film seemed a bit schizophrenic in that i noticed some hints of Italian/french new wave films, some seemed like digital oil paintings, and the totality was kind of like a william s burroughs cut up technique.
i mean, on the heels of the success of skyfall, w these actors, producers and director, it almost felt experimental or clumsy or.... i don't know what...
i still liked being in their company, it was just like hanging out with someone you adore but they're drunk or have a bad hangover. please tell me what you think on this angle.
