Director: Johnny Depp
Just saw this movie & I loved it.. Depp should direct more, than appearing in those recent easily forgettable Tim Burton movies.
I believe this movie has never been released in the US.
What are your opinions on this.

YES someone else has seen this. I don't think it was released in the US either. I was definitely impressed with how he handled the pacing of everything, very meticulous. Some of those shots looked so dreary, I wonder where the locations where

Aha found the reason for the lack of distribution:
"Johnny Depp was deeply upset at the negative reviews received from the American critics attending an otherwise successful screening at the Cannes Film Festival. As a result he has refused to show the film in the United States."
Figures, the American critics give the negatives for this

You should..
I have no idea why Depp overreacted to the criticism..
This movie deserves to be released in US as well..
Is Depp so sensitive, he chose not to direct another movie after this?

I mean, Cannes is a big deal, and for his own home country to crap on him is pretty sad. I don't agree with his decision and I do hope he directs something else, but can I blame him? Perhaps, I never took him for a man who cared about americans let alone their opinions
