last days
dir. by gus van sant

I guess my hopes were too high for this film, and I should have known better. I read a review calling the ending of the film very sad. But it just wasn't. I didn't feel any connection to the mumbling, bumbling rockstar in this film (who was supposed to represent the late Kurt Cobain) - and found myself just hoping it would end already. Does it represent depression? Does it represent isolation? Does it represent addiction? Perhaps, but not adequately.
