Review of Cecil B. Demented (2000) by Mark N — 14 Apr 2012
God bless you John Waters. A love letter to radical movie makers whose independent works make cinema less predictable and infinitely more interesting than the machine could ever produce. Always with a rye eye Waters targets every trope and pretension in modern movies and calls them out.
The casting of Melanie Griffith was inspired as she both fits the role as an actress and a real star. The ensemble cast are a riot of colourful human-beings who typify stereotypes as they decry them.
Dorff, Witt & Gyllenhaal are a charming as counter culture rebels on a mission to expose the machine and make the most real movie ever made. Cartoony action sells the demented reality and brings genuine laughs from the ridiculousness of their escapades.
