They figured that it was better to play along than have MacIntyre dig up the dirt...I bet MacIntyre couldn't believe his luck, hence the original documentary developed into a film directed by him. Truth is stranger than fiction. |

The more I think about the film, the more I dislike it. DM has a reputation for peeling back the layers but he seemed to be nothing more than a finger puppet.

Collateral (like a lot of Mann's films) gets better with each viewing, he is a brilliant director and his use and choice of music in films is usually excellent.

The plot device was genius with a tour de force from F.Murray Abraham regaling the tale of Mozart to a priest whilst in a mental home. Opulent and well played. It gave me a little more appreciation for Classical music. However Tom Hulce (as Mozart) was miscast and his American (!) accent grated but I'm pleased I finally got around to watching it after sitting on my shelves for months!
