TIFF 2009 Day 8: Neil Jordan’s Ondine

Date:

I can’t quite wrap my head around Neil Jordan’s latest offering – clearly a fairy tale for adults that could easily play well for children, Ondine sounds good (Sigur Ros) and looks good (Christopher Doyle), but I didn’t much care for the end result. Hayao Miyazaki’s Ponyo did way more for me if we are going the direction. Full review coming soon.
