Francis Ford Coppola moves ever closer to his ultimate goal: to be able to recut a movie over and over again even while the audience is in the middle of watching it. Digital video technology actually allowed him to try it with test audiences. Now if he can just program DVD discs to randomly mix things up, every home performance can become a unique experience. As if the final cut of this picture wasn’t random enough. The plot is so vague and the characters so annoying that this functions only as an experimental piece, the sort of thing most filmmakers do at the beginnings of their careers rather than closer to the end. See if desperate
Media criticism. Pop culture snark. And movie reviews. Lots and lots of movie reviews.
