Review of Revolver (2005) by Jonathanm. — 11 Dec 2007
HA! Yes, it's a total mess and there's no payoff. However, the images are memorable, the music is great, it's totally ridiculous,I laughed at some of the acting...but, hey, I had a fun time on a Sunday night at the late show.
I personally don't care if everything makes sense in the films, books or music I consume. I can speak from experience from how I make my living (writing music for film and TV), it would be a super-boring existence as an artist if I didn't have huge failures along the way.
Maybe this is his, and the next film he makes may incorporate the visual innovation into a story that makes sense. As a matter of fact, I think as an artist it's harder to take risks because people are so quick to criticize anything that they don't see 100%.
I'm not saying that this is a brilliant film - I'm just saying I'm willing to take the leap, and let myself enjoy it.
