Saw it at Sundance
The Merry Gentleman (Dir: Michael Keaton): The word on the “street” (or shuttle) was “eh” for Keaton’s directorial debut, as it was for other gems like “Quid Pro Quo” and “The Escapist”. That’s too bad, especially considering hot tickets like “The Great Buck Howard” were underwhelming compared to the lower-profile films. The Merry Gentleman is slow paced, yes, but that’s an attribute. Keaton doesn’t rush anything in his story of a lonely young woman (Kelly McDonald) who is the locus of desire for several men, including her ex-husband (a great Bobby Cannavale), an alcoholic cop, and a suicidal hit-man (Keaton). He honors the complexity of the situation with an ending as open ended as it is authentic. It is a glowingly photographed, impeccably performed magical realist drama, one that I’m glad exists in a market where it cannot thrive (just like the best Alan Rudolph films). Taking place during two of the loneliest holidays (Christmas and Valentine’s day), The Merry Gentleman is also a great religious film, movingly detailing McDonald’s faith as she in turn becomes a figure of worship for men with a variety of intentions. It even ends with a resurrection. As a primer on our ability to “save” each other, this is nothing less than rapturous, and Keaton infuses the frame with snow, fluorescent light, and human encounters that match the melancholic beauty of the frame. With Game 6 and this film, Keaton has proved to be one of our most reliable and literate actors. He is also a knockout director. ****
creativity at its best
As other reviews have pointed out, this is a movie which should be seen and experienced, instead of reading reviews and narratives about it.This is one of the most enchanting and underrated movie that I have ever seen. It simply transcends movie-making to another level.
It is evident that Keaton is a sensitive director, and daring in the sense that he does not try to hide this fact.
The characters of the movie have depth. Breathtaking cinematography coupled with an amazing soundtrack makes this movie enjoyable. Where this movie stands out from the usual fare is that it does not try to build up a story or a narrative, instead the characters go with the flow with no attempt to explain any quirks along the way. Which is how life actually is!
Kudos to Keaton for bringing out such a wonderful film. I wish I could treat myself to this movie for the first time again.
