Walk, do not run

Rating: 4/10 (20 August 2001)

By far the most tedious film of the summer. Nicole Kidman walks through the same eight rooms 33 times. To mix it up she sometimes holds a candle, sometimes not! Useful only for its superb referencing of the Caravaggist candle-lit paintings of Georges de La Tour and Joseph Wright of Derby, and some evocative interiors influenced by Wilhelm Hammershoi's fin-de-siecle art. I guessed the ending. There it is. Instead of buying into this muck, go see "Ghost World" again.
