Monsieur Morimoto (2008) Reviews
An interesting character, but a movie that's linear, static and, ultimately, boring
A very interesting and generous subject, but partly compromised by the director's lack of vein and too deep subjectivism - he should become aware that if he loves something (a story, a character, a theme, a setting), this won't become automatically as lovable for the spectators; it's HIS task to make it so! As such, the story of Morimoto Kenichi flows linear and static, gratuitously lenghtened for 93 mins, when it did have substance for maximum 20 (or 25, generously). The guy is interesting indeed, but the movie doesn't get to create any empathy between the hero and the audiences. The cinematography is elaborated and expressive, but with too many slippings into kitsch, while awkwardly attempting to bring on screen the famous polychromy of Paris. Viewable, but only when you are fit enough to overcome a bad case of boredom.
