When Love Comes (1998)

Juče sam napunio kadu, napravio pjenu, skuvao kafu , prenio laptop i sve lijepo namjestio da provedem sat i po vremena u potpunom opuštanju.
Pustim ovaj film , pa gledam, gledam, gledam, gledam i film se završi.
Strašno. Iz početka mi se dopao film, interesantni glumci, zgodni kao nešto se muvaju, piju piće. Jedan sredovječni gay a drugi nestalan, pije. drogira se i ponekad popuši nekome u baru u kojem pjevaju njegove dvije prijateljice.
U filmu se pojavi i Katie,propala pjevačica, prijateljica ovog sredovječnog i zgodnog i pomalo fem lika.
Svi odu u jednu kuću na plažu i sad kao treba da se nešto desi, a ne desi se ništa. Čak su i scene seksa jadne, a kada treba da prikažu golog muškarca to bude tako da ili na flash od 3 mili sekunde prikažu dupe ili do malo ispod pupka.
A bespotrebnih scena u filmu koliko god želiš, bez ikakvog smisla i značenja. Stekao sam utisak da je ovaj režiser jedva čekao da završi ovaj film, pa je snimao kako bilo, samo da je nešto snimljeno pa da se ide kući.
Užas!

"When Love Comes" as a follow-up? Whatever happened, "When Love Comes" is a major irritation indeed, a film full of posturing rather than real drama, marred by endless scenes that strive for significance but, because there is zilch at the centre, signify absolutely nothing at all. Why does the camera linger on Sally, apparently a hot guitarist, falling down at a gig? Why is she suddenly playing in the nude?

In a story about the need for friendship and love, specifically concerning a once successful singer returning home to her former acquaintances, the only energy is in the editing, which forces the film forward but in an abrupt, choppy manner. No flow, no class, no sense.
