Title: a sentimental pastiche
Review: I am/was a Sally Potter fan. 'Orlando' and 'The Tango Lesson' were fascinating and delightful. 'The Man Who Cried' is neither.The dialog is stunningly bad -- the 'goodbye' scene between Suzie & Cesar is so, so bad I can't believe Sally Potter could have written this without a deep sense of irony? I could tolerate the indulgent cameo inclusion of Pablo Verón if the rest of the movie had weight.The movie was a terrible tease. Harry Dean Stanton with John Turturro in a Sally Potter film -- a must see! Turns out it's a musn't see. A sentimental pastiche.Sally, get yer act together gal, your dad wouldn't go for this one.
