Movie Reviews of Edmond
Movie Review: One of the Best Films I've Seen This Year
Summary: 5 Stars
"Edmond" is from director Stuart Gordon ('Re-Animator'), producer Chris Hanley ('Buffalo 66'), and writer David Mamet ('Spartan'). The movie was adapted by Mamet from his own play and evokes (to me) memories of films
like "Buffalo 66" and "Breakfast on Pluto." Not necessarily in their style or in the storyline; But both films follow a character around through a slew of (mis)adventures. Edmond" is simalar to that. We basically walk in on a mans life and watch it unfold. There's little character development, no reasoning for his actions, and no apologies. The movie was one of the quietest releases of this year. Few people have heard of the film and most people won't like the film. Too bad since it's one of the best (and strangest) films I've seen this year. First off, I knew nothing of this movie before watching it. It's definitely a little bit bizarre. William H. Macy, in one of his strongest performances, plays Edmond. After going to a Tarot card reader (who shows him unpleasant looking cards, but never explains them), he blatantly and unapologetically leaves his wife. The scene unfolds quickly and seems to end before it should. He comes home, tell her he's leaving her almost in the middle of a conversation; She yells at him and he leaves. Edmond ends up at a bar where he has an abnormal philosophical conversation with a man (Joe Mantegna), who gives him $100 dollars and tells him to get laid. Edmond goes to a club, where he unsuccessfully tries to do so with a girl (Denise Richards). Next he goes to a peep show, where once again he leaves...Empty handed. He tries a massage parlor, where he's turned down by yet another girl (Mena Suvari) because he doesn't have enough money. Then he's ripped off by a couple of three card monty players, but finds his own kind of redemption after he beats up a pimp. It's obvious, but is left unsaid, through most of the film that Edmond has a screw loose and by the end of the film he's in prison. He accomplishes quite a bit in 82 minutes. Besides a fight/murder scene, the movie is fueled by conversations. It is based on a play and most of the conversations are so philosophical and out-there, that most viewers will wonder to themselves "What the f**k is the point?" Truth be told, there is no point. But if you like movies like "Buffalo 66" then you might like this movie. It's subtle, low-key, and kind of weird...But it's really good. Julia Stiles co-stars.
GRADE: A
