  ethan hawke fires off a firework of fast paced dialogue over 90 mins ranging from hilariously witty to heart wrenchingly tragic. as easy as it is to get lost in the loudness of it all, the quiet moments in between when margaret qualley’s elizabeth makes ethan hawke’s lorenz hart lost for words – reducing hart to a wounded glance – in a literal closet are even more impactful.

  captivating visuals, with great performances by marion cotillard and (blink and you miss it) august diehl. iconoclastic ode to cinema and self-determination. really enjoyed this – time to reread on the crystal image by deleuze.

  visually ravishing. partially brilliant (dafoe, hoult, costumes) but twirled-moustache-deep in goth clichés and overall lacking the subtlety and atmosphere i was expecting coming from murnaus original take.
