Rambling about Bandits and chimeras
October 22nd, 2007 by Bill
Having watch Barry Levinson’s 2001 movie Bandits once again last night, I took another look at what had written about it somewhere back in 2002 — roughly five years ago.
For some reason, I went off on a tangent about chimeras. I sort of know what I was thinking at the time but, having rewatched the film, I’m not sure why I thought that way. With the distance of time, I think this is a much better movie than I initially thought and certainly better than most reviews at the time gave it credit for.
So maybe one of these days I’ll scribble up another review. In the meantime, all I have is this one. (By the way, Cate Blanchett’s performance in the movie is great. And she looks great too! Maybe it’s the red hair she has in this one.)
