Proof that less can be better...
by André-72001-08-03

"As Hartley goes through and destroys most of the cliches of traditional love stories, from Shakespeare (with the drunken KATE scene, ref. The Taming of the Shrew) to the musically challenged dance number by Donovan and two extras (a gem which turns all those Hollywood musical numbers on their head. What happens when you're in a funk about a frustrating and failing relationship and you don't feel like singing in the rain?)..."

💡 Did You Know?

The professor at the lecture reads to the students of the Brothers Karamazov of Dostoevsky.
