This was an intriguing film. More a tone poem which follows the life of a movie star as he staggers along in the fast lane tasting the increasingly stale rewards offered by a materialist society. For a long while this seemed aimless but gradually the point emerged and it was worth it. Very European in style.
SD's character came across as a decent guy caught up in the high life, accepts it all but sees it for the hollow emptiness it really is. His interaction with his daughter (Elle Fanning) rang true and gave the film its resonance.
Powerful film which could only have been made by a major player. Kudos.
