Not I (2000)
6/10
Moore makes it work

Warning: Spoilers
This is Samuel Beckett's "Not I" in the version of (newly) Academy-Award winner Julianne Moore. She recorded this one 15 years ago being directed by Oscar winner Neil Jordan, who also worked with her right before on "The End of the Affair". I must say I preferred this version to the one from the 1970s. Moore does a great job with her voice and what makes this much much better is not only the use of color, but also the use of constantly changing camera angles. It adds a touch of restlessness to the film that works so well with Moore's performance. I remember liking this even more the first time I saw it, but even on a rewatch, it is still a pretty good showing. Possibly my favorite Beckett movie and evidence that he can also work on screen, not just on stage. Recommended.
