Entropy - Disordine d'amore

Lots of nice minimal jokes. Surreal amusing look at a young Hollywood director's search for the perfect partner. His life falls apart, in an affable way - he's likable. My scratched rental DVD jammed appropriately enough about half way, where there's a turning point. The picture blocked and jittered (almost a technique used in the movie) and ten minutes later the fun began, for me, with the introduction of the gorgeous Kelly Macdonald. If you've ever felt your work or love life's collapsing, and seen the irony of it, you might enjoy this film. It's a sweet story, nothing gruesome or sleazy. Music's minimal and appropriate. No sentimentality - not a trace. Just a nice bloke trying to find love.

Okay, maybe I just have a sentimental attachment to this movie. It's not the best film ever made, but it's worth the time to watch it. This is a rather quirky movie, and it is quite slow in parts; but Steven Dorff is great as Jake, a film maker who is struggling with his career and his love life. His love interest, Stella, is charming. If for no other reason, watch this movie for the last line. It won't change your life, but if you've ever let THE ONE get away, you will appreciate this parting wisdom.

I don't understand how people can say that this film wasn't good or lacked depth. The main character wrestles with career challenges, prioritizing work and friendship/love, abortion, etc.

And that's not deep how . . . ?

Secondly the directing was brilliant. The editing was more than interesting, very fluid. Great music and movement from scene to scene was always eye catching. I thought the narrator approach was original. Yeah it's been done before. But this was very tasteful and established a relationship between the audience and Jake.

Steven Dorff and and the beautiful Judith Godreche did an excellent and believable job as characters that I think anyone who's ever been in love could identify with. Or at least been in love and lost that love for whatever reason. The last line of the movie says it all.

So to Phil Joanou for this extremely under rated movie . . . Great job! The movie hit close to home and could not have come at a more appropriate time in my life.

If your a U2 fan watch this film. If your a Trainspotting fan watch this film,(Kelly Macdonald has a small part). If your that 1 Lauren Holly fan out there watch this film. If your an average viewer, i advice you to watch this film but don't expect too much.I never heard of this film ,found it at the video store and was able to get it for free. it has really cool camera shots and has a fashionable groove to it however the script is the major disappointment in the film.The dialogue is somewhat cheesy if not pretentious.And the lead character played by Dorf seems to be an obvious replacement for Ewan Mecregor or that guy from Momento. Overall,if you don't have any expectations for this film you wont be disappointed. Don't buy it. Don't rent it. BUT if your buddy has it watch it.

Fine almost-psychedelic-oriented comedy about romance, struggles in art work and just loosing your mind (and finding it back). The meaning of the word tells it all. Dorff offers a great performance. U2's performances in the movie are in the right spots and at the right time. Very experimental yet great results.

Entropy is a must for people who like the first stages of Tarantino, the visual experimentation of Olver Stone and the hilarity of Woody Allen (strange but rather great mix!).

I find it mind blowing that the plot begins with the narrator in an awful shape explaining the story and then gets to meet his own character and the movie goes on!

The ending leaves you with a melancholic feeling because all us who are still attached to this world have experienced the "Entropy" after an intense experience what ever it was.

See you in the journey to forever!
