Fully agree.
I think it needs someone unique, like maybe a Todd Haynes. Who has a great feel for milieu and period and knows how to frame stories. And tells women-driven ones masterfully. This hybrid material -- satire in its origins, and in musicalization operatic at times, yet jazz-inflected in its choral work -- probably can't take the formalist Minnelli approach (that some are advising, elsewhere). It needs a bizarre blend of opposites, intimacy and grandeur. Ashford seems on track to deliver -- sorry, though it wasn't his film -- another "Nine." Ugh. |
