I saw this and thought it pretty much sucked. Great concept. I think Oliver Assayes is overrated

I saw this and thought it pretty much ruled . . .

It even improved upon a second viewing. Easily one of my favorites this year: difficult, smart, beautifully shot, and finely acted. Demonlover documents the fleeting, "unpermanent" nature of today's images and our culture's reaction/non-reaction to them.

OK, for a third opinion - I saw it and thought it pretty much sucked, but I think Assayas is otherwise a great director. Cold Water is one of the best films I've seen all year.

I have heard other people say they liked demonlover a lot more with a second or third viewing. Maybe so, but it's just not worth it to me.

To elaborate:

When I first heard of the film I said, "that's the stupidest thing I've heard. It's a total rip off of Videodrome."

Once I'd seen it I actually felt it should have been more like Videodrome in the sense of being more tightly plotted. It's all the same ideas of Videodrome only unspooled into a loose, eliptical, disconnected mostly uninteresting film.

I also think Assayes is too obvious with his use of foriegn films/porno/animation/etc. He did it with Heroic Trio in Irma Vep, now its all over Deamonlover. I feel it's a pretty screwed up way to homage something when all you do is have characters in the film literally watch something.

Large supporting role.

So far this is the best film I've seen in 2003, but it is a tough watch.
