Far From Heavenly
|
| This Diane Keaton-directed film is better as an idea than as an actual movie. It's an Errol Morris style documentary asking people what they think heaven will be like, and the transparent goal is to ridicule as many people as possible, many of them with obvious mental problems. It's fascinating to see the variety of ways heaven is depicted in clips from old films (Spencer Tracy's "A Guy Named Joe" is the classic "walking-on-clouds" vision of the hereafter), but the rest of the documentary is Keaton seeing how many bizarros she can squeeze in per square inch, and how many tilted camera angles she can acheive doing it. Interesting in places, but not her finest moment (try "Unstrung Heroes" for that). |
