Review of Clouds of Sils Maria (2014) by M S — 30 May 2015

There must be some middle ground between the summer blockbuster blow'em-up sequels and the European borefests that my local movie theaters have been offering lately.

This is one of those stories within a story that also follows a seeming trend that none of the characters should be likable. On top of all that none of the lines sound like anything humans would say.

There was momentary relief whenever Binoche laughed or the travelogue views of tSwiss Alps brought the screen alive. I could imagine this as the first effort of a high school playwright in love with symbolism and fond of gimmickry but nothing more, sigh an abuse of my time.
