I am totally conflicted about this film. The cinematography was gorgeous, the scenery, the set decoration, and the colors were gorgeous (reminded me of “Paris, Texas” somewhat). I loved the music (can’t wait to buy the soundtrack). But the actions and responses of the characters played by Jessica Lange and Sam Shephard made no sense to me whatsoever. They were always laughing when they should have been crying, crying when they should have been laughing (but they’re still two of my favorite actors so I still liked watching them). There were people in the audience laughing derisively at some of the scenes. Eva Marie Saint and Sarah Polley were very good in their small roles.
