We watched Gaudi Afternoon last night. I wanted a day to consider before writing a review. This film is set in Barcelona, which adds to its interest. Closed captioning is absent, which made it harder for my partner to follow.
My overall evaluation is that the film is interesting. It's different. There are quite a few surprises, most of which will offend anyone who's homophobic. It's not a Hollywood copycat film.
So what's my reservation? Maybe the film is a bit cynical. It's not up to my Cinderella standards? It's more than that. I'm not sorry I saw it, but I wouldn't choose it for sheer exuberant entertainment - nor for expanding my understanding of life. So I'll give it a 3 star rank.
