Cosmopolis ( 2012 ) ( R )

4 stars

very artsy film

mostly consists of semi-random conversations about life, death, money and sex

a reasonable amount of sex in this film, a limited amount of violence and occasionally humorous

seems to have been influenced by American Psycho ( 2000 )

and equally by Pi ( 1998 )

i also thought the film was a response to Occupy Wall Street:

but apparently the filming actually completed 2 months before OWS protests began … but was released after the OWS …

in either case the film does NOT directly address the crash of 2008 …

i think the reason for low ratings is people expected some kind of plot and action whereas it’s really a dialogue driven philosophical film - there is not a lot of action and the plot isn’t even supposed to make any sense …

i don’t think there is any real message either it’s just reflective / meditative in nature …

yes i recommend this movie
