" The Informers - screw over the limit " Directed by Gregor Jordan , USA / Germany, 2009.
novel by Bret Easton Ellis entitled " Water from the Sun" (or. " The Informers") of 1994, the film is an ensemble that tells the story of turning a screw base sex, drugs and apathy in the lives of bored so luxurious as a circle of high society characters losangeliana of 1983, while around them hovers the shadow of HIV.
I never read anything by Bret Easton Ellis , but after " American Psycho" and that " The Informers," I begin to think that his books are not suitable for film adaptation ... or, perhaps, will be only bad luck ...?
After all, the 80 of us that we have lived in the Italian province, between all illusions of Milan fashion Ramazzotti and snacks on the spot of the commercial media, these 80 losangeliani based on money, promiscuous sex e droghe di lusso, sembrano qualcosa di estraneo, quasi alieno.
Il fatto, poi, che il film sia stato prodotto adesso (nel tempo in cui il tronfio edonismo narcotizzato è materia narrativa più che popolare, arrivando addirittura ad avere un filone tutto suo tra le produzioni seriali televisive come " Nip/Tuck " e " Californication ", tanto per dirne un paio), probabilmente incide sull'impatto tematico che poté, invece, avere il libro al tempo della sua uscita in libreria!...
Or dunque, basta infarcire il cast di star controverse e dannate ( Kim Basinger , Mickey Rourke, Billy Bob Thornton , Winona Rider, Brad Renfro , etc etc) to make the same damn film on the transposition of one of the authors of fiction maudit contemporary American ?!... The outcome of this movie, I would suggest not and, except for some interesting moments (few, from my point of view), everything seems to end in a saccharine and dragged family soap opera based on those excesses that we coated , poor mortals (thankfully) do not ever live, where the stories of various characters are grazed in a somewhat 'and a tasteless Mechanical rather artificial, stuffed with languid eyes depressed and dialogues on the edge of the tautological ...
From what I read, it seems that the film has been denied the character of a vampire, but that was covered by the literary version. Too bad! ... Who knows that the presence of a supernatural character could not give the text a key to film a bit 'different and slightly more interesting.
From what I saw, in the twinkling of the whole mise en scène film, among the dull platinum hair and pale ingelatinate and minimal-chic interior stand out with a certain strength of character Rourke (who, by now, just show your physical degradation to fill the screen of the decadence associated with its characters) and the shy and insecure vulnerability of the character of Jack, Brad made a great Renfro (here at his last appearance on the screen before the untimely death).
Recommended? ... ABSOLUTELY NO! ... Pace of the writer Ellis, credited as executive producer, but now dissociatosi seen the film once the final result! ...
