My Blueberry Nights
Wong Kar-wai in
his first American film produces a distinctly mixed bag. The glossy neon images are there with
interesting camera work, a nice soundtrack by Ry Cooder and some fair
performances. I wanted to like it more
than I could as somehow the exercise in style was unable to make up for the
lack of substance. Norah Jones is a
rather bland heroine, Jude Law has more charisma but it is Natalie Portman
, David Strathairn and
Rachel Weisz that hold the attention when on screen. The intention is there but overall it is not
up to his best.
