Viewing Notes

I’ve been a long time fan of Ewan McGregor ever since Shallow Grave, so much so that I named my first born son after him. Still, when this hit the theaters I wasn’t moved enough to go out of my way to see it.

Too bad I didn’t, because I rather enjoyed it. My friend @sleestakk mentioned the color palette, and he’s right. The grey tones and washed out colors that inhabit most of the film set the tone and also hint at the political murkiness of the plot. I really enjoyed the look of this film a lot.
