Review of Two Lovers (1928) by Noel V — 15 Nov 2009
In James Gray's own words, his least autobiographical and most personal film yet. The story's as old as time (Joaquin Phoenix must choose between good-girl Vanessa Shaw, and volatile Gwyneth Paltrow), but Gray as with all his films invests the old-fashioned narrative with a passion and visual elan that transforms the material.
We haven't seen an excitingly fresh old-fashioned filmmaker like this since Francis Coppola (and in the case of his trilogy (Little Odessa, The Yards, We Own the Night), we prefer it over Coppola's).
