When Dragonfly swerves her car in reverse in the tunnel, there are skid marks already on the ground along the path her tires take.

During the chase scene, Dragonfly scrapes and destroys almost all of the rear left-side "winglet" on the white sports car she is driving, yet in the next shot, the winglet is seen to be completely intact and undamaged.

I'd seen this movie for sale when we visited the Coppola Winery. I'd never heard of it, but my interest was piqued.

...and in the characters Paul(played by Jeremy Davies) and Andrezej (played by Gerard Depardieu),together are an alter ego of mine.

The framing device is boring and pretentious. I hate everyone and I don't care about their problems.

First off, I LOVE Italian genre pictures from the 60s and 70s. I love the look, the plot, the acting, the music, the sets, the fashions.

The protagnist worked as a film editor at first, but he ended up to be responsible for the film direction. But the pressure and suppression by the environment made him confused as he lost the difference between the real and the dream.

Many movies in the late 90s tried to deal with substantive topics in a short attention span package. Four Rooms was the best known example of this.

Okay, the film festival crowd probably loved it. But your average, popcorn munching movie goer who has scraped to-gether the ten or fifteen bucks it costs to see a movie these days will probably wonder why he or she made this choice.

I found this movie interesting for its depiction of movie making techniques in the sixties. The Eclair cameras, the editing console, the splicer, the wooden tripods -- these are the things to which I paid attention.
