The Assassination of Jesse James ***
Andrew Dominik, 2007
US
@ AMC Empire
This might be great but I had a hard time deciding with so many distractions: people getting up and walking out, talking to the screen, etc. I didn't much care for the voiceover narration until the end; mostly it was, or should have been, pretty redundant. The film looked very good, with interesting long-held close-ups, and effective saturation of browns for an old west color scheme. I liked Casey Affleck a lot, wondering how much of the uncomfortable obsessive character was in the script and how much was his own contribution, so I'll almost certainly try to see Gone Baby Gone over the next several weeks. There are a lot of small touches, like with food, for example, that I think I could pick up on a second time through.
