film sex scenes are usually crap. Michael Mann keeps trying to use sex scenes (Heat, Miami Vice) but it never works, probably because his real forte is guns & sociopaths.
ReplyDeleteI think in this case Dr Kermode was drawing attention to the talent-deficit of the respective actor and actress!
ReplyDeleteBut surely Bloom is at the very least a combination of the best elements of de Niro, Nicholson and Brando all in one wonderful actor. As opposed to utterly bland.
ReplyDeleteIf by 'a combination of', you actually mean 'the antithesis of', then I quite agree Andrew.
