Movie review

From Time Out Film Guide

When he's in the mood no one digs deeper into the emotional gut than Abel Ferrara - like Bad Lieutenant, this is a gruelling experience. Many will find it alienating. Keitel is a director (his wife is Nancy Ferrara) making a movie about a couple breaking up - Madonna and Russo are the stars. There's inevitable confusion between reality and illusion, but the real subject here is the battle (or rather massacre) of the sexes.

    Posted on Jul 11 2007 15:38 Not as terrible as some would say. It features a committed performance from Madonna, and has something to say about Hollywood. A shame the plot is so muddled.
