Cold Mountain was a major disappointment. I lost all hope for Tony’s film directing after that. Why his work in Opera was so focused and expressive, while his film work was so stilted has been something I just can’t figure out.
After slogging through that depressing tome (Cold Mountain) I couldn’t stand the thought of attempting to see it on film...but, that’s me.
The first scenes in Cold Mountain were really good. It then turned into a total bore.
Although Nicole Kidman was neeked!
