The whole segment set in Paris between Anders Danielsen Lie and Viktoria Winge was a beautiful mini-movie in and of itself that I will be thinking about for a long time. It's great to see a director's visual style just kind of erupt on the screen for the very first time. It's the same thing I felt while watching 'How the Garcia Girls Spent Their Summer'. Reprise is a much better movie, but both films gave us a preview of work I'm sure will be coming in the future from two exciting new directorial talents.RJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00960849284510182412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-49174537998335178972008-06-20T14:46:00.000-04:002008-06-20T14:46:00.000-04:00robert --the comparisons to run lola run are more ...robert --the comparisons to run lola run are more about cinematic confidence than about actual style. Reprise is an energetic movie from a young director (boogie nights is also a good comparison in that it's a young director who is entirely confident about cinematic style and the use of camera and editing for example) but it's not an action piece. it's about two writers (best friends) and their very different reactions to success.NATHANIEL Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11597109147678235399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-44209654935005238832008-06-20T14:41:00.001-04:002008-06-20T14:41:00.001-04:00P.S.
