Movie Reviews of The Pillow Book
Movie Review: Beautiful!
Summary: 4 Stars
Lovely. When you're finished with this film you really feel like you've been somewhere.Movie Review: Stick to Schwarzenegger trash, Shane
Summary: 5 Stars
The Pillow Book is easily one of the most beautiful, moving and thought-provoking films EVER made. I've watched it at least a dozen times - not for the male nudity as I'm a heterosexual male - but for Peter Greenaway's stunning vision of the human condition...in fact he paints a portrait of the likes of the Shanes of this world, the clueless people who wander through this world being duped by the guileless publishers of this world - it's no wonder the poor man who drinks from a colostomy bag (no wonder he obviously prefers today's Hollywood crap) doesn't know it.Movie Review: Ewan McGregor in all his glory.
Summary: 5 Stars
This film is very artistic and all nude men and nude woman are shown in good taste. With the exception of the sexual scenes, the full adult male nudity during the exploring of The Thirteen Books was not offensive to me and I considered it artistic. The art of storytelling by body painting is not new and has been done for centuries. This film is NOT for children to see. It is strickly for adults only. Bravo to Ewan McGregor and the other men for being so bold and unashamed for showing their bodies in a controlled, professional manner for the sake of this professional film.Movie Review: bring on that colostomy bag.........
Summary: 1 Stars
Watching this so called movie was as entertaining and pleasurable as getting my teeth pulled(without anesthetic).In every possible way the movie is suppose to be touching,enlightening,imaginative,spiritual and so on.....when it is actually disconnected,confusing "designer trash".At no point and time could I relate or connect with this movie or it's characters... and in my final analysis; Pillow Books'gratuitous full frontal male nudity(gathering from what i've read from other reviews)has "profoundly" compensated some women for the female nudity they've seen in other movies.If that is not corruption of one's sense of decency..what is?Me personally..I would rather slurp my next can of soup through a used colostomy bag than have to view this trash again.Easily, one of the worst movies I have ever seen.Watch it, and you'll be begging for those two hours back when you pass.Movie Review: Any Way You Slice It...
Summary: 4 Stars
...The Pillow Book is a fascinating movie. The pleasures of the flesh and the pleasures of literature are bizarrely combined to help a young Japanese woman make sense of her life. This film will not be for everyone, as there is much full frontal male nudity, and some stomach-turning sequences involving a homosexual Japanese publisher's fetishistic attempt to possess Ewan McGregor's character Jerome, even after Jerome's death. This is not the movie for you if you like straight-up realism; the situations are outre, but I happily suspended my disbelief to take in the imaginative story, and a heroic performance by the truly gifted McGregor.
