Review of The Beguiled (2017) by John935 — 02 Jul 2017
I've seen all of Sofia Coppola's films and she is very good at not saying whatever it is she may be saying. Since Somewhere, the influence of Antonioni continues and she's willing to hold a shot/scene for longer than most directors nowadays would dare.
I have not seen the Don Siegal version so cannot compare it. Colin Farrell looks well-preserved, until.... Everyone else --the distaff members of the cast-- take part in the funny games exactly the way Sofia C wanted them to and the effect is ultimately and purposefully stylishly vague.
Love it or leave it, that is the Sofia C brand.
