I like that it is kind of melancholy and utterly ridiculous at the same time

Yeah, its balancing act has a higher degree of difficulty than I think it's generally given credit for these days

I picked up the BJM Criterion when it came out and showed it to a friend who hadn't seen it before (I myself hadn't seen it since the VHS days); we were both knocked sideways by how dark it was, particularly all the Cusack-Diaz marriage breakdown stuff (the cage, my god).

Topsy-Turvy a lot of fun but I wonder how it would feel to someone who's indifferent to its subject matter.That's me and I love it.― Chris L, Tuesday, April 23

Same, largely for the reasons omar posted upthread - its very immersive in a way that makes you really feel like you're watching people & events in another time, which is a tough trick to pull off.
I dont really care about Gilbert & Sullivan one way or the other, but when it comes to movies about artists, particularly with music, I usually could care less about whether I like the actual art being created in the story - if the movie's good that should be totally beside the point imo. If thats all I was looking for, I would watch an actual concert film or something.

I usually laugh at #eureka moments in movies but Gilbert's here works.
