I love Hillcoat's first feature THE PROPOSITION so am anxiously awaiting this one. <br /><br />Of course, the source material is magnificent and love to see Hillcoat's visual interpretation of Cormac's terse prose.Alex DeLargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17050773136046485614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9149411832127844385.post-4995951677941951532010-01-03T21:36:15.319-05:002010-01-03T21:36:15.319-05:00Rev., you're probably right about having to wa...Rev., you're probably right about having to wait. Here in Albany NY the film is playing exclusively at the local art house. That bodes poorly for any wider release unless the film gets some Oscar nominations.<br /><br />Sam, you may find the flim more ghoulish than the book simply because it visualizes what McCarthy only describes, though as I said Hillcoat leaves out some of the most ghoulish matter. It was definitely much less ghoulish than I anticipated coming from that particular director.Samuel Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934870299522899944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9149411832127844385.post-67025107685238929022010-01-03T20:43:38.529-05:002010-01-03T20:43:38.529-05:00I confess I didn't care much for this ghoulish...I confess I didn't care much for this ghoulish film of set pieces with liile cohesion, and lacking the imaginative resonance of the book, but I nonetheless read a superlative review here which makes a good case for the defense.Sam Julianonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9149411832127844385.post-57994396428756550592010-01-02T03:18:23.841-05:002010-01-02T03:18:23.841-05:00Man I really want to see this.
