Quo Vadis, Baby?
To be honest, it's a while now since I watched Quo Vadis, Baby?, and it hasn't really stayed with me at all. Much of the time, if I don't write a review straightaway, it's because I was uninspired. That's not always the case, but often.
Essentially, this is a film about a female private detective trying to track down who killed her sister some years earlier. What prompts her to do this after 16 years is the arrival of hours and hours of video-diary type material made by her sister that arrives on her desk one day.
The plot leads her to pay particular interest in her sister's last lover...
While watching this film, I was half enjoying it, but it was rather dull, and even though it didn't always go where you thought it would, it still had a sense of the obvious about it, the mundane, the retrodden.
It was all right, but not much more than that, with a couple of half-decent bits here and there.
The scores
Acting: 13
Story: 13
Direction: 13
Enjoyment: 12

sounds like this film had real potential. sad it was a disappointment.
(p.s. i get so excited about your reviews... my ginormous movie queue is largely filled with movies you've recommended. hahaha)
I have just seen Black Snake Moan. Not too much like the older films - just went through your blog to see if you had seen it. If you do, let me know what you think.
Martha: Yeah, it kind of started out strong. Oh well...
Gardenia: To my shame, I'd never heard of this until you mentioned it, and now it seems its name is everywhere! It'll be a while until it hits these shores, though, I fear.
Okay, I am going to thank you now for all the time you are saving me. Now I will not waste it watching movies. Instead, I'll spend that time with family, or blogging.
