Polanski's Kind of a Tool...

... but he really works some magic here.
I think it wasn't really ranked very high because it's pretty slow and most people don't care about arrogant, overpaid, cutthroat rare-book estimators.
However, no one makes smoking look more attractive than Johnny Depp.
Also, Polanski works A LOT of symbolism into the movie; it is a sort of Pilgrim's Progress for Satanists (which I'm not). Depp is at his best, and it's got a very nice foreign feel. |
