Oh how I love David Cronenberg's style... So disconcerting & puzzling. He manages to find these interstices of strange reality, in which he further inserts fantasmagoric elements, without ever obliterating the principle of coherence or tearing apart the suspension of disbelief that has been firmly established. Every scene is calculated with preciseness, every little thing connects, foreshadows, explains, or deepens the plot. Enthralling atmosphere & foreboding music all along, up to the explosive finale and chilling last scene.
A story about arrested development and mending broken hearts. Wes Anderson惯用的布景和摄影方式非常适合这部小品文家庭故事 Anjelica Huston有种莫可名状的美 看到剃头后的Luke Wilson终于get了他的帅气 他的character development也是最明朗的 目睹了每个人物的苦痛后自然也共情了淡淡的压抑 好在影片结尾还算温柔吧!
