  • Sparkingly brilliant...a flavour of 'Magnolia' or 'Pulp Fiction'

    Quirky and intriguing

    This is one of those films that features a number of different cross cutting stories which appear to be, but are not, happenning at the same time. Like a Robert Altman film or Magnolia, the characters appear in and influence the other stories. What links them is that they are all talking about happiness and the role of fate - how do we get happiness and how does it go away or is it given up? I really liked this film - I found the ensemble acting and multi layered storytelling to be refreshing. I also thought it raised some interesting and provoking ideas. However the stories themselves were uneven - the film is dominated by a strong performance by Alan Arkin as an ill tempered and vindictive insurance salesman who is also capable of kindness - in contrast the story featuring John Turturro felt less fully developed. The overall tone of the film was pessimistic - but I felt it was all the better for that!
