The movie has a pulsing soundtrack that is very reminiscent of All Quiet on the Western Front, which keeps the film moving even when it otherwise might've felt a little slow.
If one of the most famous directors of all-time was assaulting extras on the set, in full view of the crew, methinks this story would've come out like...the day it happened? Or in one of the MANY stories about the troubled production. Not a few hours before its first screening.
I've seen way more comments worried about people turned off by musicals than I've seen any evidence that the musical elements is turning anyone off this movie.
I was expecting the trailer to either be really bad or really good, and glad to see it was REALLY good.
This movie looks like a totally mad gamble, and I think it's going to pay off.
Haters and doubters are in shambles. Pour one out for them the next few months as the hype builds.
Yeah saw it at a film festival...I think It's the best film I saw in 2023. But it's hard to recommend.
Really would recommend listening to the director talk about the movie, there's a lot of insights into how it was filmed, especially the choices he made (like not being on set).
