What a terrific piece of film-making! 'Fakin' Da Funk,' though it is a very entertaining film, for all the bravura performances, the characters show us what makes them tick.
I kept saying, 'Wow' over and over again.
This is particularly true of Julian, whose motives remain obscure throughout most of the film. Oh well. 'Suing the Devil' is intended primarily as a lark, I imagine, and on that level it is generally successful.
This latest film certainly does not rank up there in the Tim Chey pantheon. It is, in fact, a minor work by a major filmmaker, who is merely marking time, perhaps, till his next true masterwork. It's Chey in a relaxed, kick back, sunny mood, not as great as when he is really pumping away hard, but good enough for the time being.
