The Cat's Meow   ...   movie reviews
sun 2005-jan-16 00:49:42 pst   ...   permalink


This afternoon we watched The Cat's Meow. It was good. Kirsten Dunst is great, and Eddie Izzard makes a good Charlie Chaplin. The story, I gather, is pretty much entirely speculative, but it does make for a compelling movie. Part of what makes it compelling is that the major characters are all portrayed quite sympathetically, in spite of their inherent conflict.

But I think my favorite thing was the fairly incidental recurring joke of Chaplin running ideas for The Gold Rush by people to see if they're funny.
