mmm...."attempt" being the operative word (as with most Winterbottom films). the music was the only good part. I agree that he wasn't successful, completely unsuccessful to the point of ridiculousness actually. Technically brilliant though? are you joking. I thought it was quite badly filmed and edited, as with most Winterbottom films. Also, as with most Winterbottom films, he seems to think that the conception is enough, he's a lazy film-maker. Neither of the characters explored anything other than a bunch of decent bands in this film. Not only did he not have the actors of Tsai or Chereau, he doesn't have the talent as a film-maker either. I didn't see any emotional resonance at all, the voice over was so heavy-handed. Comparing the Antarctic to two lovers in a bed is fine if it's done visually, but then to slam us over the head with it through the voice over too just shows such a lack of respect for the viewers ability to think for themselves.
