Movie Review: Shopgirl- 11/07/07

Comments: Nice easy-paced movie. At first I thought it was going to be a romance-type comedy and it is in the first arc with the lead actress and her 20ish fling. Then once her character meets up with Steve Martin's older courter, it moves into more of the tradition drama phase. The movie has exquisite cinematography and a wonderful orchestrated soundtrack.

Colors and shots used are very detailed and shots appear dramatically staged. There's not a lot of history of the characters given, so you're forced to accept the relationships and tangles they get into just from the screen. It's a very thoughtful movie that I'd like to get for my collection, if you enjoy movies like In the Mood for Love, 2040, Big Fish, this one should be for you.

Score: 4 out fo 5
