This film tells the story of a film star who gets paranoid about stalkers. Ultimately he becomes a stalker, and blurs the boundaries of reality and his fantasies."I Love Your Work" has a great cast, and the ability of the filmmakers to ensemble so many recognisable faces using a low budget is quite amazing. However, the film itself is a complete wreck. After just five minutes I made up my mind that the film was terrible, and it did not get any better throughout the whole movie. The visuals and cinematography are so pretentious and self indulging. The filmmakers do not see to realise that it is not interesting to watch people smoke, or watch people develop photos in a dark room. The plot is a little complicated as it has many imaginary scenes, and the presentation of it is rather poor, making the film very confusing to watch. It is unfortunate that it becomes one big confusing mess. I can't say I love this piece of work.
... View MoreWhat just happened? If you saw or are going to see this movie you might be asking your self this question. But beyond the obvious... what is real or not, trying to explain this story line is almost pointless. If you are looking for a normal movie where Ribisi shoots someone on the red carpet (like shown on the cover of the DVD) this is not for you. But if you would like a unique perspective on the crazy mind of a somewhat cracked out young movie star who struggles with his grip on what a normal life and true love is, you should watch this. Great cinematography and use of lighting and set design (or lack there of). Do not watch this with people who don't like indie films and are generally categorized as slow, dumb, or say 'I don't get it' after every other movie you see with them. Otherwise, I really liked this...Later.
... View MoreWhat was this movie really about? I have no idea, actually a lot of ideas. I hope one of them is correct. Isn't it weird that the main character actually acts a lot like Adam Golderg does in his movies. It was a pretty good performance though, Boiler Room-like. This movie basically says that celebrities should not stalk regular folks, it can be dangerous. Or the grass is greener on the other side, or this explains Tom Cruise. Maybe even the fact that most of these celebrities end up as Scientology followers cos fame in Hollywood just makes you crazy. Well if its something most people don't understand then its either termed as genius or art. I think its just art, after-all art has no set definitions, at least thats what I think.
... View MoreIt seems people either love or hate this movie.I think novels, movies, and art do not have to follow an "essay" format. There's no requirement that a hypothesis must be proffered and clearly and logically proved within the movie/book. The goal may be to make people think, to raise questions without giving easy answers, and to do so in a framework that incites both feeling and thought simultaneously.Hrm, I don't think I'm writing this in a way that really gets my thoughts across, but there you have it.I enjoyed the movie. It was thought provoking without being highbrow. There was no "moral story" laid out or beaten into you.I'd recommend this movie for people who like mystery, thought, and don't necessarily require a definite answer/conclusion to enjoy a film. The acting was super, and the movie flowed well.:) Alma
