...romantic setup of the two also feels false; Hendersons’ crush is conveyed by Dench gazing wistfully away from the camera and turning unreasonably angry when she discovers that Van Damm is married. Why would a woman as independent as Henderson immediately fall for Van Damm...
...performances are carbon copies of its predecessor.Recent movie musicals such as “Chicago” and “Moulin Rouge” were successes because they went beyond the limitations of a stage production. In “The Producers,” a static camera, minimal editing and washed-out lighting give the impression of a banal sitcom. The cast also fails to adapt stage acting to film acting—Broderick in particular.

Two of Asia's best cinematographers?Peter Pau and Christopher Doyle?split time behind the camera, and each creates distinct visuals. Pau shoots the baroque hotels and classic Bund streets of Shanghai with a warm and romantic eye, all burnished greens, blues and browns. Doyle, Wong Kar-wai's longtime collaborator, gives Sun and Lin's flashbacks a gray, wintry look, as if we're peering...
