Review of Being There (2011) by Ryan G — 16 Jan 2012
A magical and bittersweet comedy with a superb Peter Sellers, in the most mature and concise role of his career, even if he's portraying a childish man who's suddenly deified by an empty, artificial society.
A supremely sincere and pleasantly understated film that engages all us in careful thought, about how absurd, pointless and obtuse our lives can be, and how the most unexpected person in the whole world can make us be aware of it.
everlasting fable, parallel to the fisher king.
