Movie Reviews of The Girl from Monday
Movie Review: Don't waste your time
Summary: 1 Stars
I'm sorry - I can think of zero reasons why any thinking person should subject oneself to watching this morass. I can't believe I just sat through it. I am so bummed out by its bland mush I can hardly type on here to warn others. (btw, WORST "soundtrack" I have ever put up with! Yuck!) Actually "yuck" is my reaction to whole mishmash.
Summary of The Girl from Monday
In the not-distant-future the market has taken over everything thanks to the marketers. The consumer is king and those who see value outside of the marketplace are "enemies of the consumer" terrorists and "partisan" enemies that the state must dispose of. Protagonist Jack seems to be at one with the media corporations (after all his marketing ideas led to the institutionalization of the exchange of sex for enhanced buying power) but is he somehow involved with the feeble and pathetic resistance movement? Does he love Cecile his colleague or is she a pawn in his game? And what of the mysterious girl from Monday? Are immigrants from the star system "Monday" really assisting the partisans?System Requirements:Run Time: 84 minFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre:?SCI-FI/FANTASY Rating:?R UPC:?829567031629 Manufacturer No:?829567031629Shot on video in color and black and white, indie-god Hal Hartley's The Girl from Monday imagines a not-too-distant future in which the Multi-Media Monopoly (Triple M) corporation rules over a real consumer culture. Individuals have bar codes implanted on their wrists and their stock fluctuates according to their sexual activity. Bucking the system are the Partisans, a rag-tag group of "counter-revolutionaries with no credit rating." Hartley veteran Bill Sage (The Unbelievable Truth, Trust, Flirt, Simple Men, No Such Thing) stars as Jack, a disillusioned Triple M advertising executive. Sabrina Lloyd (Sports Night) costars as Jack's rebellious co-worker, with Brazilian model Tatiana Abracos as the enigmatic eponymous character, an alien who takes ravishing human form when she falls to earth. The Sopranos' Edie Falco, who co-starred in Hartley's The Unbelieveable Truth and Trust, graciously appears as a judge. More interested in ideas than special effects, Hartley's characteristically deadpan "science fiction" is not likely to win him a wider audience beyond his core, cult following. Fans of Chris Marker's La Jetee may also find this film a stylistic kindred spirit with its haunting use of still images. --Donald Liebenson
