Just terrible! Without doubt the most self indulgent piece of drivel captured on film ever. I understand what Van Sant was trying to say, but the way he gets there is just boring. Beautiful cinematography can only take you so far. If I want to see pretty pictures I can go to a gallery.
And what the hell is it with Van Sant and gratuitous gay scenes. I mean, I love a good gay heavy petting scene, but between this and the Elephant shower scene...it's just a van Sant toss off.
I'm sorry, but I am willing to input to a certain degree to understand and embrace a film - I don't need it all laid out like am episode of CSI, but I'm also expecting the director to direct.
I do hope Gus van Sant is over his mid life crisis, get back to making quality films and get over this need to make very expensive student films.
