One word:
CREEPY
Oh my god...This movie is creepy!
Robin Williams plays a guy at the local one hour photo studio, who at first appears to be the most normal, nice and sweet guy but as the movie develops............Watch it!
I should tell you what a wonderfully contained performance that is, especially for Williams who is such a tank full of all kind of strange and weird funny moments and jokes bursting out all the time. The DVD had a 'Charlie Rose' interview of the actor and the director of this movie (and man ...did he make Charlie laugh silly till he cried heh) and the interview was full of hilarious impressions that Williams was throwing around and all the jokes he was making up as improvisations. I wonder how he can also turn in such a serious and creepy performance.
Well yes, he has been known to do it recently: Insomnia, a thief-cop story also starring Al Pacino in which Williams plays the baddie, and apparently others like Death to smoochy and The Final Cut. Final Cut came later. Death to smoochy is on my list of must watch now.
Will suffice to say...Robin Williams is an unbelievable artist. He is a hilarious improvisationist, a very matured character artist, a comedian beyond belief...he is all-in-one! Truly amazing...
The DVD caption said, One hour Photo does to snapshots what Psycho did to showers Well ...thats kinda misleading, but yes, I was chilled in a similar way when I watched Psycho. Can't compare since Psycho is a masterpiece...but One hour photo delivers the goods although kinda misses the mark towards the end.
