quebec! this movie is way less good than the decline of the american empire. there's one amazing shot at the beginning of the catholic nurse through the hall bringing the communion wafer. that was amazing. besides that there was cheap banter and a man reminiscing about sensual pleasures. there are token gestures to the misery caused by remy's spectacularly selfish sensuality but this movie is ultimately a mawkish toast to cuisses, bouches, etc. the bulgarian nurse's rubdown? get the fuck out of here.
it should be thrilling when middle aged women talk about administering hearty blowjobs, but not when the movie lacks the courage to pan over to the wife. it makes its argument about people and sex by setting up a puritan (capitalist capitalist capitalist!) straw man and then unleashing gorgeous women to make out with him. it's an easy movie, a cheap movie. the decline of the american empire absolutely astounded me, but maybe i really was that puritan straw man three years ago. i wonder if it'd still be something special.
i appreciated the little vignettes, i found that really elegant and appropriate.
