What a wonderful concoction! Stylish, whimsical, off-beat and preoccupied with narrative and story-telling, it's another film that could've been calculated to appeal to me (the most recent other having been (500) Days of Summer). It was several weeks ago now that I saw The Brothers Bloom (extemporanea is somewhat in arrears), so the details are no longer fresh in my mind, but the colour and the shape of it haven't faded, and besides, speaking 'objectively', I'm always happy to watch Rachel Weisz and Adrien Brody no matter what they're doing - and enjoyed the scruffy, slightly savage charisma that Mark Ruffalo brought to his role too. Of the films released this year that I've seen, this one just may be my favourite.
