The movie is about movie romance and how these illusory romantic boilerplate influence real relationships. You're invited to acknowledge Brando's method persona and Leaud's new wave actor identity in their characters' essence.The actors' past roles, our knowledge of their histories inform us of their characters. This is a great film about being human in this age of cinema. These comments, well, I expected better from a library crowd. There's not a cineaste in this crowd. Undeniably, something is happening in this film and it may affect you. If it doesn't well be humble enough to know you missed it. This is filmmaking of a high order and it may not be for the uninitiated or the unprepared. That doesn't make it a bad film just esoteric. Reading these comments I'm reminded of Yogi Bera recounting his trip to the opera. At least he had wit and brevity.
