This is pretty feeble. Characters are introduced just to look nice. The little girl in the park, the attractive blues singer who I suppose the main protagonist is having an affair with – who are these people and why are they in the movie? There is no connecting the dots.
There is a lot of wandering and meandering dialogue – particularly with his mother in the hospital. At the end of the movie as he lies dying, there is an aerial shot of the Statue of Liberty - why? There are a lot of other art shots for the sake of prettiness that annoy you as this film drags on. I was hoping for some kind of wrap-up but there was none.
I like Frank Langella but the mood is very somber and this film has no real meaning to me.
