What's The Fuzz All About?
Jonathan Demme's pseudo-realistic attempt at telling a story about a recovering addict who comes home from rehab to participate in her sister's "Hindu" dressed wedding party and the invited guests are as multi-ethnic as the United Nations assembly made me loose respect for the filmmaker. How this Caucasian-American family with an apparently intense need for the multi-ethnicity of things just wasn't able to stay on my TV screen longer than 10 minutes it's no surprise. And what about the head ache I had thanks to the Director's genius conceit of using a shaky camera, which intermittently would go in and out of focus, so the tone would insinuate an original home movie or a documentary filmed by a preteen. Funny but even reality TV has more truth then this out of this world film...what a dud product from a director whose PHILADELPHIA and SILENCE OF THE LAMBS made history.
