"The Private Lives of Pippa Lee." Enjoyable, and I am glad to have seen it, yet something false about it.

"I've had enough of being an enigma," Pippa says in a v/o at the close of the intro. sequence; "I want to be known."  Well, that's a fourth wall violation, given the fact that she shares nothing with anyone in the film, even as she goes about being better at having what she wants, or at least pursuing it.  "Telling" which isn't "telling to someone" in the story isn't really "telling" at all, and makes the whole exercise into a fraud, however welcome in other respects.

I don't see how Hurt Locker got a nom. It is just OK. I think some want to call it 'reality,' even with clear Hollywood fictional strokes. edzep Feb 16, 08:02
