Review of Entropy

Entropy (I) (1999)
4/10
Romantic drama is well played and stylistically filmed but a little boring
15 June 2007
Steven Dorff(Blade) as a filmmaker named Jake Welsh gives a good lead acting.It spans one year during the existence of a young director who narrates how he meets French model named Stella(Judith Godreche,starring with DiCaprio of¨Man in the iron mask¨)and emerges love at first sight.Then they live together but their employments frequently keep them apart.Welsh tries to make a balance among the demands of chairman(Hector Elizondo:Pretty woman)and producers(Paul Guifoyle:CSI,Frank Vincent)his first film and the pressures his new love.Welsh's immaturity eventually separates them and posteriorly a brief appointment is married a beautiful girl named Pia(Kelly McDonald:Finding Neverland)during a rapid wedding in Las Vegas.

This is a slow-moving film about a dull romance and emotional problems of an arrogant moviemaker.This clichéd film contains a slow-pace and it manages the tale down.The Steven Dorff-Jake Welsh character narrates this story of dull manner,retelling how his existence how goes astray and gets worse.Appears uncredited the singer ¨Bono¨ interprets as himself and his group U2 with concert scenes while the director Jake Welsh is shooting.Special appearance by Lauren Holly(Dumb and dumber,Turbulence) as an actress obligated to nudism and Kathryn Erbe(Law and order) as his sister,besides Drena DeNiro(Robert DeNiro's daughter) as a waitress .The best of the film is the sympathetic cat which bound and leaps on the shower's curtain,besides speaks and smokes. Colorful cinematography by Carolyn Chan with rapid images and split screen and atmospheric music score by George Fenton.The motion picture is regularly directed by Phil Joanou,a successful director(Gridiron gang,Heaven's prisoners,Final analysis) and filmmaker of video-clips and films for U2(Rattle and hum).
