Review of The Golden Bowl (2000) by Eric H — 03 Sep 2007
Not sure why I've been watching so many elite society movies lately, especially since I hardly ever enjoy them. That holds true with this one. I don't understand any of the social things these people do and I have no interest in understanding. All these people running around having their affairs and feeling sorry for themselves because they can't have everything. To hell with that.
On a positive note - the cast is good. I always like to see Nolte in a big part. Thurman holds her own in a movie that I wouldn't have considered her being in. Beckinsale and Northam are both very good as well. You can relate to them every once in a while.
As far as filmmaking, I noticed very little. Other than the intro scene which left me with a since of dread throughout (though the pay off was a bit more reserved than the intro scene).
