Movie Reviews of The Man from Elysian Fields
Movie Review: My Favorite Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved this movie. I'd never heard of it and it was a very pleasant surprise. There was actually a lot of depth and deeper meaning to so many things...and if you notice the little things in the movie I think it makes it even more satisfying.
Those who say it's not realistic...I have to disagree. Not all relationships are cut from the same cloth. It's not unheard of for a spouse to allow extra-marital activities if that's the kind of relationship that they have. And interestingly enough, there was a lot of trust and honesty between the Alcott's (who was allowing his wife to have an escort) than the escort who was lying to his wife. It's also interesting to think that perhaps the whole thing started out as a scam for someone else to write the dying author's final publication.
My favorite moments in the movie were the interactions between Andy Garcia and James Coburn as well as Andy Garcia and Mick Jagger. There were a lot of comedic moments that I loved. It was also interesting that for a movie largely about sex, the sex scenes themselves were very vanilla. The paintings on the wall were more graphic than the sex scenes and that was refreshing. It really focused more on the emotional and situational circumstances than being a raunchy sex film.
It's a great movie. I suggest everyone see it and decide for themselves.
