Interesting that two films have come out at almost the same time set predominantly in the back of white limousines, but yes they are very different. I was put to sleep by the economics. I actually think this might be an interesting book to read, but as a film it just didn't work. Nice call on the theatre - that's the second mention of the film as theatre today. I guess I had some expectations, but wow that trailer is misleading. It seems action-packed and intense, and like stuff happens...and then it doesn't.Andy Bucklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15655573933693289124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-822042615030551178.post-504318799175875562012-08-01T09:39:15.480+10:002012-08-01T09:39:15.480+10:00Thanks for the read, Andy.

Like I said, I had little to no interest going in so that always helps but no, never bored but I also probably missed a lot of what was being said: economics = zzzz. I know you're only joking but I hope people don't compare Cosmopolis and Holy Motors because they both feature white limousines; that would be kind of like comparing Annie Hall with The Avengers simply because they're both set in New York!D.R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11517891007414596722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-822042615030551178.post-46908127109745902752012-08-01T09:29:17.853+10:002012-08-01T09:29:17.853+10:00Excellent review, Dwayne.

The economic babbling, and the smug, pretentious, self-important drivel about the evils of capitalism etc. amounted to nothing. I liked the final shot - but not even the bursts of violence and sex livened up the proceedings. I like Cronenberg...well, except his last two...but this is no HOLY MOTORS ;-)Andy Bucklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15655573933693289124noreply@blogger.com
