HATED this movie. The cinematography is a total rip-off of the Italian cinema of the 1950's and 1960's. The only ones that this can be considered "innovative" by are people who have never seen anything by Fellini, Antonioni, DeSica, Visconti, et.al. Since the vast majority of critics loved the movie and found the cinematography so fresh, I can only assume they are people who have never really researched movies or are 'me too' poseurs.
