Allow a Director to shoot whatever he wants...and the chance is he'll come up with something like this.
Why on Earth Vincent Gallo as the fugitive killer 'Mohammed'? Couldn't a real Arab do the job???
And Polanski's wife Emmanuelle Seigner being conveniently deaf and dumb?! For a One-Day rôle ??!
And US contractors smoking crack in Israeli Desert (posing for Iraq) ??!
And thoroughbred white horses given as a gift, (along with designer winter coats and boots) to a total stranger...dying, and armed.
I mean... Just how stupid does Skolimowsky think viewers of his oeuvre are?!
It's like HERZOG gone Gaga.
The part where prisoners are put through the US ARMY 'programme' á-la- Abu Grihab was promising enough...but soon the whole film stumbled along to it's pseudo Arty conclusion, just like dope-faced Gallo, stumbling around amidst branches and snow.
A sorry waste of time, and money.
