"An Art of Flawless and Irredeemable Vulgarity"
Anthony Lane reviews that new Star Wars movie. He is not kind.
"The general opinion of “Revenge of the Sith" seems to be that it marks a distinct improvement on the last two episodes, “The Phantom Menace” and “Attack of the Clones." True, but only in the same way that dying from natural causes is preferable to crucifixion."
Lane manages to swallow his loathing long enough to make some interesting comparisons, making particular note of the apocalyptic shadow of John Martin on George Lucas' digital landscapes. (I must say I prefer Martin, who still can taste the sublime through the artifice.)
