I’ve been letting this one stew for a couple of days. At first I wasn’t sure if it was just okay. Then, after a day, I realized that I loved it. Then I just wondered if it wasn’t just my overall love for David Cronenberg that was leading me to inflate my opinion of the movie. But, no, I’m officially going to say that this is quite a piece of work. It is a slow movie, a cereberal movie. A movie more about tone and mood, really, than plot. Which is odd because the movie is shot in a somewhat flat style. The star of the show, really, are the stars. V-Mort is indeed remarkable.
