The guy was at D-Day and romanced Ingrid Bergman, sounds like it\’s got all the elements of an old style epic.

Shooting a classical gangster epic in the same photographic mode as Miami Vice is the kind of experimentation that I wish more hollywood directors would dabble in. Of course, this is also why it bombed; people say they want artistic innovation, but really they want classicism; many critics who said that the video \’looked like crap\’ also praise the video look in Festen for looking so raw and real. What they mean to say is \’if it\’s set in the 30\’s, but it doesn\’t look like the Untouchables, I\’m not buying it.\” Even though the choice for shooting it like this is not simply a surface trick, it is part of what the film is saying: gangster films themselves play a huge part in the film, and the film-ness of them is juxtaposed directly when Depp is watching the Clark Gable picture: the intercut of the film is the filmic print, not a video shot of it (Mann insisted on this in post, apparently). Wonderful picture, beautifully staged action, and Depp and Bale are incredible.

Perhaps financially, but not artistically.

Especially compared to The Treasure of the Sierra Madre.
