    Tailor of Panama

    I watched this one last night, and enjoyed it a *lot*. It's a dark comedy of sorts, both touching and hilariously (to me) funny. Peirce Brosnan's role is a total send up of the characters he usually plays; Geoffry Rush and Jamie Lee Curtis have very good roles also (Rush is the Tailor). My ladyfriend was tired, though, and had trouble following it and enjoying it. It was weird- I'd burst out laughing, and just look at me with this look on her face ("Why was that funny?")

    Buried in there are more than a few scathing indictments of the US's neocolonialism at times.

    All in all, a good view.

    I didn't mind this one at all either. I certainly want to watch it again, for there were so many subtle nuances that deserve it. Brosnan's character was a hoot and Jamie's character really came though in a satisfiying way!

      The director of this film was John Boorman, who seems to like casting actors against type. Choosing Brosnan as the seedy spy was brilliant, and you could see that Brosnan was having a ball with his character. And Rush was fantastic as the tailor.
      A different little film, but pretty much what I expected from Boorman.This is the kind of film I can enjoy over and over.
