movie review - Still Crazy
the journal of Michael Werneburg
twenty-seven years and one million words
Toronto, 1999.07.09
Still Crazy is a movie about a bunch of aging rockers who string together the old band for a twenty-year reunion festival. The first half of the movie is about digging up the band members. The second half is about their attempts at working together once again.
It's entertaining, and endearing, but something's slightly missing. This movie drags throughout a strange, incomprehensible period in the middle of the film that loses the energy of the first third, or the would-be drama of the second half. It's unfortunate.
Not recommended.
