Mumbling Bumbling Fumbling
As a huge fan of Prince, and U2, I usually go out of my way to be very kind when they dabble in the world of film. U2's soundtrack to this thing is pretty good, and sometimes great. The movie, written by U2's Bono, just may be the worst film that any musician has ever been involved with. To be worse than Prince's Graffiti Bridge takes Ed Wood type talent, and Bono and Wim Wenders somehow manage to pull this off. I have no idea what it is supposed to be about. Some guy is mumbling to some girl, and I think they live in a Hotel, but nothing in this film is made clear. I almost want to say it is so bad that it is good, but this film goes full circle a few times: It is so bad that it is good, but just when you think it is good, it is so bad that it can't be good under any circumstance. Please avoid this. Now if U2 had taken the best songs off of the soundtrack, and placed them on their future(at the time) album, All That You Can't Leave Behind....it would've been a much better album....which was still pretty good.
