I saw in an interview with David Cronenberg in George Stroumboulopoulos Tonight show the host ask him: "I've heard you made the script in 2 days Wow how is that ... Cronenberg response was and I quote: "the word genius comes to mind (in a fun but at the same time cocky way) and then he says no , the book was so good , everything was there.
Now I understand why all the dialogs sound pretentious and over intellectualized , the script and the lack of climax is the problem of this movie. And now I understand why he made it in 2 days , I'm sure as a book is great, but , it seems that he had copy pasted textually all the dialogs , not adapted them to screen and believe me , for me was not a problem of understanding the verbal diarrhea , I even rewind some scenes trying to get the point and I get it , but there was not one :=) I'm not reading a book I'm watching a movie .
Lets name the good things:
For my surprise the best of the film is Robert Pattison performance his distant personality this time was perfect for the character and He has some long takes with excellent actors like Paul Giamaty,Juliete Binoche ,Samantha Morton and never is overshadow by their performances he delivers very well , I never thought he was a bad actor (just the effeminate vampire character hunts he).Another great thing is the supporting cast , beside Sarah Gadon that is beautiful but the character is tasteless but she can act it shows there, but I suppose was the way Cronenberg want it the Characther to be portrait.
At last I'm disappointed and of course I'm big fan of Cronenberg earlier and recent work I like when he get serious like Eastern Promiuses or A Dangerous Method .But this for me was a fail experiment.
But I assure is not as bad as my rating and it have some good moments and things that the Cronenberg fans and another film-goers will like but i'm making a warning with it. Really is maybe 6/10 or 5/10 really, but is a statement and I'm expressing my huge disappointment and all the time I waited for THIS :=( .
1/10 and as Roger Waters wrote on the Wall : Run like Hell....
