Review of Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle (1994) by Don N — 17 Aug 2007

Just saw this again after a long absence on dvd, and it doesnt seem as good as remembered it, maybe the sepia toned depression of it all suited me back then. its interesting to know that she made this the same year she was in the hudsucker proxy, which was another look back in the past but her performance is nuanced enough to make it different.

also, while I liked the scenes with parker and benchley, I couldn't help but feel I was getting a cinematic embellishment of the past. 'Shine' suffers from the same problem.
