Italy
Fast paced, hyper-modern treatment of the "pulling the plug" controversy a la Terry Schiavo. The first hour was shot in the dark with long lenses and speed editing. Gave me a headache. Eventually though the director settled down and focused on his characters and came up with several scenes that soared.
There were political elements, Catholic church influences, personal histories and one lamo love affair tossed into the mix. Plus a woman junkie...who provided a knockout scene.
So overall a mixed bag. An intelligent, complex film with a real payoff.
