Visually interesting but highly predictable

Rating: 6/10 (16 May 2018)

I've enjoyed much of this director's previous work and like those, I found this film to be visually sumptuous and endlessly interesting to look at. Unfortunately though, the story was very predictable, the characters cookie-cutter and ultimately did not match up to the visual delights on offer. Unless you're a serious fan of the director I would not consider this essential viewing.
