Ooh! New Line used their Freddie money to finance art movies? I think I’d almost forgotten that, but they were the ones who financed Hairspray, I think?
So I’m continuing watching 80s art house movies… but this is from 1991. It’s basically the 80s! And I think I watched this at the art house theatre at the time, but I’m not quite sure…
I mean, I’m pretty sure that I’ve seen this before, but it’s three decades ago. Perhaps it was on VHS?
Flea!
Oh, right… this one has a bunch of lines cribbed from Shakespeare…
Really!?
loosely based on Shakespeare’s Henry IV, Part 1, Henry IV, Part 2, and Henry V.
But I saw Henry V just a week ago, and there were hardly any hustlers there! But a lot more war.
Oh, right, Udo Kier.
That’s so Italy.
I really enjoyed all the scenes here… but it feels a bit disjointed? Like some kind of Frankenmovie? I mean, I love it, but it could be… more… something.
But it’s lovely. And so sad. Or possibly not.
