...number of affairs later—not even your local final club could provide you with sex this casual—he eventually finds himself picking up women that aren’t picks of the barrel, including a man in drag and a psychotic cellist played by Natassja Kinski. Where he goes from here should be obvious to any fan of the romantic comedy genre; no prizes for guessing whether or not he will get back together with his supportive, though somewhat dumpy wife. Director Peter Chelsom (The Mighty, Serendipity) is better known for his wholesome family fare than...
...Polish-born actor Klaus Kinski was a born mesmerizer with a rock star's gift for mischief. To put it another way, the guy was nuts, and Herzog had to be a bit eccentric to keep casting him; the five films they made together turned their friendship into a holy war. Yet the combustion produced amazing adventures: Aguirre, the Wrath of God, in which Kinski goes berserk in the Peruvian rain forest, and Nosferatu the Vampire, with the actor as a pathetic, rodentoid Dracula. This documentary, a gallivanting time trip through a bolder film era, is Herzog's final collaboration...
Wesley Snipes stars as a commercial director who begins to reevaluate his life after a visit with his AIDS-infected best friend (Robert Downey Jr.) and a one night stand with a beautiful rocket scientist (Nastassja Kinski). Though it shows some intelligence in dealing with issues of loss and adultery, Mike Figgis' latest effort lacks the complexity and emotional heft of Leaving Las Vegas. What redeems the sketchy script just enough to make the film bearable is Figgis' jazzy direction and a nuanced performance by Snipes...
...Kinski barely registers. In her early scenes with Snipes she is vulnerably cute, after which she just stands around looking hopelessly vacant. She is upstaged by Wen (who played June in The Joy Luck Club). Snipes and Wen have great chemistry, taking an argument about a dress and twisting it beautifully into a full-out tete-a-tete. Snipes' nuanced performance--for which he received the Best Actor Award at this year's Venice Film Festival--makes you wish that he would give up playing generic action heroes and return to more serious acting like that of his earlier work...
...over-sexed wife Mimi (Ming-Na Wen) and two children. During a business trip to New York, he visits his best friend Charlie (Robert Downey Jr.), a performance artist stricken with AIDS, gets separated from his production team and somehow ends up stranded in the city with Karen (Nastassja Kinski), a beautiful rocket scientist (you heard me). After going to a Beethoven concert, flirting shamelessly at a jazz club and escaping a nearly fatal mugging, Karen and Max, surprise, surprise, end up in bed together. Snipes returns home emotionally shaken and begins to question the stability of his marriage...
