USA
Feature Film
Director: Jieho Lee
Writers: Bob DeRosa, Jieho Lee
Cinematographer: Walt Lloyd
Composer: Marcelo Zarvos
Cast: Forest Whitaker, Brendan Fraser, Andy Garcia, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Kevin Bacon, Emile Hirsch, Julie Delpy, Cecilia Suárez
Despite relatively accomplished performances and good if over-stylised production values, Lee’s feature debut - based on an ancient Chinese proverb that divides existence into four emotional states (happiness, pleasure, sorrow, and Love) - is a film constantly mired by laughably silly plot details and developments that are played with a po-faced straightness that is more likely to provoke embarrassed giggles than thought, wonder, or anything else.
