Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
Every garden has its moments of beauty, but in general I would just as soon be walking on an isolated beach or through the woods, where I can experience infinite surprise, feel depth in every direction, and sense the presence of a master designer. Last night I saw a film that seemed to collect the best garden moments I've ever had (outside of Kyoto). It said to me: it's less about self-conscious "gardens" in the spring and more about verdant fields year-round. The film, "Five Seasons: The Gardens of Piet Oudolf," might inspire your eyes too. Piet works mostly in Europe, but maybe next week I can take an extra day in NYC to see his planting on the High Line.
