LOGGING: FOR LOVERS ONLY - by the Polish Brothers
A super low budget movie that takes place in Paris involving two people who were once in love, moved on and each got married to others - before running into each other so we can watch them in this movie.
A lovers lark in Paris full of boring, cliched dialog, no obstacles what-so-ever and not enough nakedness on the part of the gorgeous Stana Katic to keep me interested.
It seems like such audacity to make a movie which unabashedly luxuriates in a single topic for so long without advancing it in any way. Do the filmakers think what they've written (or in this case probably ad-libbed) is so fascinating that we don't need any plot development? That they're such charismatic people to watch that we don't need any visual storytelling? That just watching them in the same frame kissing is the equivalent of showing an audience a loving relationship?
I used the word luxuriate...but really the movie just wallows in its imagined self importance with the filmmakers obviously thinking so much of themselves and their work that they fail to think for a moment about entertaining the audience.
