Film: New Orleans Mon Amour proves impenetrable

New Orleans Mon Amour, the film by Michael Almereyda, left at least one reviewer cold:
I have a deeply felt passion for New Orleans and the plight of all affected by hurricane Katrina so the shots Almereyda uses of the destroyed towns and landscapes had a profound effect on me. I also totally got the idea of tying into the “Hiroshima Mon Amour” template of love combined with the wounds of battle, memory and trauma and then setting it in New Orleans. But my issues with the film came from the fact that every time any character opened his or her mouth, I just tuned out. Couple that with the fact that Eccleston’s Jekyll is not only uninteresting, he’s also smarmy, creepy and pointless and I just had a real hard time staying interested in the film.
