Author: Sookiebaby from New Orleans

Lush may not be a ground breaking film but it does one thing exceptionally well - it captures the look, feel and slow pacing of life in New Orleans just right. For me this is the Anti- "Big Easy". It manages to avoid all the cliches that litter most Hollywood movies filmed in our city: rampant Jazz funerals, Mardi Gras parades, ridiculously bad "cajun" accents, geographical absurdities like characters hopping in a pirouge from the bayou and paddling to French Quarter, etc. Campbell Scott gives a good performance as a likeable guy who's down on his luck. This movie is not for everyone, but if you are a New Orleanian or just appreciate our city, definitely check it out.
