Recently, I got a chance to watch this movie on Romedy Now. I haven’t read the book, and I remember stills from this movie – it was released in 1998, and it reminded me of days when I was mad after Titanic and its stars. I still had about twenty minutes to go before the movie ended, and I couldn’t stay up. Gwyneth Paltrow’s acting came across as unbelievably cold, and I am not sure whether this was a deliberate choice.
I recommend the movie – there are enough moments that left me surprised and glued (for example, the introduction of Ms. Dinsmoor played by Anne Bancroft), the music is really good, the usage of voiceover is interesting and there are beautiful lines like this one.
“I'm not going to tell the story the way it happened. I'm going to tell it the way I remember it.”
Finn (Ethan Hawke) is the narrator of this story. I wonder what it would be like to hear the same story from Lustig (Rober De Niro).
Watch the trailer.
