I watched the film with the director's and DP's commentary track
on. (The disc has everything -- deleted scenes, casting sequences,
outtakes -- it better have those, being so expensive and not
something you can easily rent). I thought "Ra'up McGee"
(the director's name) sounded Arabic. He looks Caucasian
to me in the extra materials, not that I can tell the two apart
easily. I still don't understand why he is so hated by the critics.
He sounds so humble and sincere in the commentary. Maybe
the critics these days prefer the rah-rah sychophant antics
of Paul Thomas Anderson, whose commentary on _Boogie Nights_
left me ill for days. (Julianne Moore, who did such a fine solo
commentary for _The End of the Affair_, seemed to acknowledge
this and kept her involvement to a minimum there.)
Turns out the the scratch on Irene Jacob's cheek was an accident,
the fault of her child. I didn't even know she has a child. She has
been an exceptionally private actor; even her websites yield
no personal information. McGee relates how busy she is, flying
in from Paris to shoot for one day before going back to the theater.
Too bad there is no interview with her. |
