Question of the Week
Well, I was going to write my thoughts about
City of God, but I got lazy and started too late, so that will have to come later. So for now I've decided to post a new question of the week; remember, the question is open to all blog members and all of our readers. Try to keep your initial response to one comments entry, or about 2500 words. This week's question has been inspired by the rash of negative reviews that have been posted on the blog in recent days:
The Hours,
Bend it Like Beckham,
The Hunted, and
The Life of David Gale have come in for some bad raps lately, and we've also seen some mixed reviews of
Gerry (though this was still positive) and
Irreversible. The question I'm about to propose was prompted by some of the comments surrounding
Bend It Like Beckham (and forgive me for using the crude categories of "art film" and "popular cinema"), but my question is:
What is worse? An art film which fails, or a popular film which fails? Why?
