Cosmopolis

David Cronenberg

I'm told there's a fine line between idiotic and pretentious. This film crossed it...both ways.

Some fine actors degraded themselves by the things they did here. Can we ever forgive them? Juliet Binoche? Samantha Morton? Paul Giamatti?

Whatever happened to the director who gave us Scanners, The Fly, Eastern Promises? Videodrome? Actually I take back Videodrome. He must be around somewhere. Did you look behind the radiator?
