Title: The Pillow Book
Product review: Whatever were they thinking? The cinematography was wonderful. The techniques were unique and innovative. Ewan McGregor, as always, was superb - and as an added plus we get to see ALL of him. That alone made it worth watching. Vivian Wu is stunning and compelling. But even these fine actors could not salvage this story which was highly convoluted, incredibly difficult to follow and totally lacking substance. Once the very brief interlude between Wu and McGregor is over, there is little to hold your attention. I never tire of watching McGregor, however this is a film that I would gladly have missed.
