Review of last week's film ("The Loneliest Planet", 3 stars)
Steven
says: This film pits the fans of long, meticulous takes against those
who prefer more dialogue and plot in their movies. The scenery is
gorgeous, the scenes are artistic, and the tension is palpable. In the
end, it's a film that dissects a relationship before and after a
traumatic experience, asking the audience to be close-up spectators of
the experience.
