This movie is a wonderful depiction of the artist. While I see how some could see him as a shallow a**hole, I think this actually gives his character more depth. While the hollywood frame work for great guys doesnt fit him, it does fit the more Kerouacesque model of post WWII existential fatalism. The shots were nice and the editting good in a pomo kind of way. While this movie isnt for anyone who saw titanic more than once, it is a wonderful retrospective of an artist and his face to face, 24/7 battle with death imbodied in love, for his people, his place, his friends, but unfortunatly not for his self.
