Review of The Man from Elysian Fields (2001) by Luke B — 21 Jun 2008
A mature and worldly screenplay is executed by actors giving elegantly crafted performances. Garcia, Jagger and Coburn all work together (despite Coburn and Jagger never sharing a scene). It's the way actions affect others and how ones own selfish desires can make or break a person.
The men not only assert their power to gain wealth and acceptance but are also exploited by their female counterparts. All characters evolve and learn life lessons without the screenplay coming across as a self help novel.
Emotional and funny only hampered by a surprisingly uninspired montage and an ending that feels to happily rushed.
