I like her doing a road movie where they do not really go anywhere. <br /><br />Old Joy was a major bore, despite Oldhams brilliant performance it was lacking in anything significant happening, maybe thats the point but I think there are better directors doing that style. <br /><br />I do like hearing your point of view when it comes to films, I am glad I discovered your blogLone Wolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16163276060417629014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2361395648458719073.post-22862204575692372222018-03-31T15:10:28.740-05:002018-03-31T15:10:28.740-05:00It's true; I have liked the idea so far of Rei...It's true; I have liked the idea so far of Reichardt's cinema more than the actual experience. I would not go so far as to say, "She has interesting ideas that do not go anywhere." But I do feel like the films of her that I have seen lack some narrative shape or arc.

I have not seen the film but have seen Old Joy and River of Grass. I feel the same way about her work, it feels like it is half finished, done with a lack of conviction. I like cinema that is minimal but her work is perhaps too minimal where it borders on irrelevant. She has interesting ideas that do not go anywhere. A shame <br />Lone Wolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16163276060417629014noreply@blogger.com
