Movie Reviews of The Pillow Book
Movie Review: Extremely fine cinema
Summary: 5 Stars
This film is truly able to stand on its own in the cinematic world. It is filmed so that it mimics the reading of a personal journal (the pillow book) and the story is SO erotically charged and titillating that watching it is to experience Greenaway's vision of *sex and literature* - highly HIGHLY recommended. It's like really good sex and a really good book packed into a really great film... very thoughtful and indulgent.Movie Review: Anamorphic DVD (What it means)
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is great and I will order the DVD version. I saw a review giving a bad note saying it is not in widescreen version but in standard version. The DVD is in anamorphic widescreen. It means it can be seen in Standard and Widescreen by toggling the "Pan&Scan" and "Letterbox" settings on your DVD player. Please refer to your manual for more information about this setting.Movie Review: Artists and literature fans, this is for you.
Summary: 5 Stars
Visually stunning, amazing soundtrack, fantastic imagery. This movie has some homosexual content, but must be taken in context and does not destroy the overpowering messages and beauty of this work. Best kept secret in filmmaking, you will not be disappointed. International flavor from Japan, Hong Kong, UK, even some French music and lyrics. Simply superb.Movie Review: Strange, and Memorable
Summary: 5 Stars
I came across this film last year on the Independent Film Channel and was transfixed by it. Odd? Yes. Bizarre? Sometimes. AndI could not get it out of my mind.
Director Greenaway seems to make movies that stick in the mind of the beholder. I also loved "Nora." -- Both films were directed by him and star Ewan McGregor.
Movie Review: thanks for giving away the ending
Summary: 5 Stars
I haven't seen this film yet, and thanks to the review "A Finely Created Work of Art, January 10, 2001" the ending is ruined for me. The reviewer gave away a huge plot point. I'm very disappointed that it was posted here! I give his review a half a star. Please be more considerate in the future. =(
