pretentious and annoying – art isn’t easy
I haven’t been so angered by a movie for a long time. I can forgive well intentioned films that fail on some accounts. Certain movies badness even may hold some special charm. But nothing is as riling as pure pretentiousness.

Director Tod Williams clearly set out to make a “deep”, “meaningful” film. Every frame, every sentence cries out, take note as to how deep and meaningful this is. In reality the main characters are so lacking in substance thanks to an atrocious screenplay, that it is well neigh impossible to evoke any kind of empathy at all. In fact, they wind up a pretty annoying bunch. The inner dialog that seems to taking place is that this film is saying, you are watching a great piece of art, while you are answering, no, this is crap. Art isn’t easy.

Jeff Bridges turns in a memorable performance, despite the stilted, unnatural dialog his is asked to spew. Kim Basinger comes off less well, since her character is so inherently untrue. It’s not her fault, nobody could make this role work, it just is not possible. What possessed poor Mimi Rodgers to join this project ? She gets to be scrupulously filmed in the nude, in perhaps not the most flattering manner, and then is required to turn manic; all this owing to her obsession with the Bridges character. It’s all pretty ludicrous stuff dealt up with much heavy handed seriousness.

While well shot, this movie is a lesson in shoddy editing. Scenes terminate too soon, or no not soon enough, jumping to other scenes with absolutely no sense of rhythm or style.

To this unfortunate concoction is added a tired, downright boring musical soundtrack, more suitable to television melodrama than to so called serious cinema.

I have always felt that John Irving’s books simply do not need to be made into films. “Garp”, “New Hampshire” and “Cider House Rules” only managed showed brief glimpses of Irving’s unique literary charms and to my mind, somewhat spoiled these novels which I found so enjoyable. Those were made by reputable directors such as George Roy Hill and Tony Richardson. Irving should certainly not have entrusted his novel in the hands of novice Tod Williams.
