| As far as writing is concerned, The Book of Life is another Hartley masterpiece. Aesthetically, however, it falls a little short. You get the feeling that Hal was only able to scrape up about half of his usual budget for this one. It also bears many of the video-like qualities of early digital filmmaking.
Otherwise, we get strong performances, an eclectic soundtrack and lots to chew over after a viewing or two. It asks difficult questions and points to some intriguing ironies. Hartley constructs an arena where the Evangelical and the Pragmatist can duke it out. The outcome is left entirely to the viewer. So if you feel like getting into a good theological cage match, oil the old brain gears, invite some friends over and see this movie. |
