Eccentric, experimental and great!
Fine almost-psychedelic-oriented comedy about romance, struggles in art work and just loosing your mind (and finding it back). The meaning of the word tells it all. Dorff offers a great performance. U2's performances in the movie are in the right spots and at the right time. Very experimental yet great results. Entropy is a must for people who like the first stages of Tarantino, the visual experimentation of Olver Stone and the hilarity of Woody Allen (strange but rather great mix!). I find it mind blowing that the plot begins with the narrator in an awful shape explaining the story and then gets to meet his own character and the movie goes on! The ending leaves you with a melancholic feeling because all us who are still attached to this world have experienced the "Entropy" after an intense experience what ever it was. See you in the journey to forever!
Truly the best thing I've seen in a LONG time...
This is really a film that got me moved, amazed and demanded empathy without much effort. Joanou hasn't been my all time favourite director, but he managed to get himself at my list of favourites at once (along with Stone, Wenders & Luhrman). First of all, the story and the way it was brought pulled the right emotional strings with me. Above that, the fact that Joanou really has a superb eye for photography/cinematography, the fact that he uses different film stocks and mixes colour with black and white and a variety of film speeds, resulted in my enormous admiration for this movie. This is really the best movie I've seen in a very long time!
Easy, low-paced.
Lots of nice minimal jokes. Surreal amusing look at a young Hollywood director's search for the perfect partner. His life falls apart, in an affable way - he's likable. My scratched rental DVD jammed appropriately enough about half way, where there's a turning point. The picture blocked and jittered (almost a technique used in the movie) and ten minutes later the fun began, for me, with the introduction of the gorgeous Kelly Macdonald. If you've ever felt your work or love life's collapsing, and seen the irony of it, you might enjoy this film. It's a sweet story, nothing gruesome or sleazy. Music's minimal and appropriate. No sentimentality - not a trace. Just a nice bloke trying to find love.
A REALLY GOOD MOVIE
It's refreshing to see a movie like this get made instead of some of the farces we seeing studio heads giving the green light to, today. Kudos to those who both greenlighted it and who made it. Entropy had it all for me because it was funny, tragic (funny tragic) and dramatic. I felt good throughout the movie and I actually don't know why I didn't know more about it or Phil Joanou. I blame this on the modern day movie machine not being able to properly promote movies that are both creative and eye catching. The scenes from New York's waterfront are in bold and contrasting colors, and it enlivened me further during a recent visit there. Joanou did the right thing film makers are supposed to do, he inspired us to see more into life and art and be entertained in the process. Such is the personal story that is being told in Entropy. After all, I don't think there is a single soul out there that hasn't felt some sort of incident or disaster in our romantic lives, and can't look back at it and laugh at in jest. We are not the most perfect of people, us humans, and all the better we can share the experience! I give Entropy an "8" just because it was so entertaining and visual, and while there will be many that will call this plainly over-rating, I don't care, I just really enjoyed the movie and could watch it again and again.
Romantic drama is well played and stylistically filmed but a little boring
Steven Dorff(Blade) as a filmmaker named Jake Welsh gives a good lead acting.It spans one year during the existence of a young director who narrates how he meets French model named Stella(Judith Godreche,starring with DiCaprio of¨Man in the iron mask¨)and emerges love at first sight.Then they live together but their employments frequently keep them apart.Welsh tries to make a balance among the demands of chairman(Hector Elizondo:Pretty woman)and producers(Paul Guifoyle:CSI,Frank Vincent)his first film and the pressures his new love.Welsh's immaturity eventually separates them and posteriorly a brief appointment is married a beautiful girl named Pia(Kelly McDonald:Finding Neverland)during a rapid wedding in Las Vegas. This is a slow-moving film about a dull romance and emotional problems of an arrogant moviemaker.This clichéd film contains a slow-pace and it manages the tale down.The Steven Dorff-Jake Welsh character narrates this story of dull manner,retelling how his existence how goes astray and gets worse.Appears uncredited the singer ¨Bono¨ interprets as himself and his group U2 with concert scenes while the director Jake Welsh is shooting.Special appearance by Lauren Holly(Dumb and dumber,Turbulence) as an actress obligated to nudism and Kathryn Erbe(Law and order) as his sister,besides Drena DeNiro(Robert DeNiro's daughter) as a waitress .The best of the film is the sympathetic cat which bound and leaps on the shower's curtain,besides speaks and smokes. Colorful cinematography by Carolyn Chan with rapid images and split screen and atmospheric music score by George Fenton.The motion picture is regularly directed by Phil Joanou,a successful director(Gridiron gang,Heaven's prisoners,Final analysis) and filmmaker of video-clips and films for U2(Rattle and hum).
