Frankie: So bad it's good


The first time Marisa Tomei appears on screen in this chilly excuse for a movie, we see only the back of her head. She's talking, but we don't see her facial expressions. That caught the Movie Slut's attention. What was the director thinking?

We don't know, of course, but we do know that this devise was used throughout the film, making it his go-to shot.

We can only think that he thought the scenery, which was lovely (Portugal countryside), was the flick's strongest suit.

What was wrong with this movie? The Movie Slut had a good time counting the ways. Even the usually dazzling Isabelle Huppert couldn't lift it from its misery.
