Auw...
Left the theatre with a melancholic feeing on a rainy Sunday...
This is a movie that had to be made, serving the sentiment of me and so many. But it shouldn't have been made at the same time. Because there is no drama. Just a funny act.
Exactly that sobering fact is the premise of 'Stan & Laurel' and supported by the setting - the couple in their final days - could have lifted the movie to an intriguing search for 'the men behind the act'.
But 'auw' again. The premise is left with bones, no meat.
Because there is no painful understanding, restless desire, glorious self-destruction.. No, Arthur Stanley Jefferson and Norvell Hardy..
they simply had nothing to say....
PS: my tating goes to the outstanding performance of the actors, the set-dressing and cinematography!!
