Title: Semantic Sublimity
Product review: Love/Hate. Most certainly. As a lover, I feel no compelling need to defend this film. It is a self-sustaining entity, a comprehensive experience. It is HURLY BURLY. But haters condemn this film so passionately. (i.e deep down you love it) Indifference is not an option. Why? Because Hurly Burly IS excess. Beautiful excess. However, in this case, excess does not lead to the palace of wisdom. When does it ever? This is one good existential, abusurdist romp with a (well-disguised) heart. I doesn't hurt that the casting was brilliant...Penn and Spacey as roommates! But the writing, the writing. Infectious Language. A refreshingly non-existent plot. Hurly Burly is hyper-conscious, hyper-psychological, hyper-hyper. I can't get enough of this movie. I can't wait to read the play. Thanks Mr. Rabe. Maybe this did turn out to be compelling defense.
