Review of The Merry Gentleman (2008) by Michael M — 08 Dec 2009
A reasonable movie with shortcomings. It is not bad but is missing in natural flow in communication and movement. The background people eating and talking in restaurants and other places in the background were better actors at times. Keaton as director tried to create a weird atmosphere by being slow and sleepy.
It started slow and got better towards the end. It had interesting surprises next to being predictable as well.
Liked the way it ended very much, last scene suited the movie very well, really in touch with the present moment.
I have seen a lot worse by directors with bigger reputation.
