...engaging and discerning culture, as a way of life...

Full Frontal - 4

The supposed "sequel" to Soderbergh's sex, lies, and videotape (see below), this film is way more disconnected, and although it has some interesting scenes and dialogue it somewhat fails as a coherent story. The scenes with Hitler in contemporary situations are actually quite funny, it is really hard to imagine Hitler breaking up with a woman who is completely in love with him. Their is also a story-line about a couple contemplating divorce that shows the complexity of life and relationships. It attempts to do the movie within a movie thing as well as make references to other films and filmmakers that seem obscure and I would imagine too subtle for most audiences (ok, maybe just me). If the editing had been different the story could have held together a bit more.
