Nine Lives (2005)
6/10
decent, but no masterpiece
20 September 2005
I was spurred to comment after reading the comment that compared this film to the works of Bunuel and Truffaut. It's a movie with decent acting, and a few solid moments. But this is FAR from the level of those masters. This film feels like a short film festival -- several short films clunkily piled on top of each other. The connection between each is slim to none, and the character that do occasionally overlap from one to the next seem arbitrarily placed. Yes there are some themes that persist, but dramatically this is a constant exercise in start-and-stopism. You never have the dramatic momentum of ONE good story to take you through the entire 90 minutes, and end up feeling bored. And there is nothing wrong with editing! Ask Eisenstein.
