Customer Reviews of The Decline of the American Empire
Fun, uneven, choppy "Decline of the American Empire" is a difficult movie to define, mainly because it straddles both European and New World cinematographic tendencies (i.e., ponderous and talky on the one hand, ponderous and talky about sex on the other). Briefly, it's the story of four or five friends who, with one exception, discover that their relationships are declining and disintegrating because they come to know more and more about themselves and their lovers. Is it supposed to be some complex metaphor that somehow ties back in to the movie's title? That's never really clarified or implied. But the diologue is fun (Quebecois French, English subtitles), and the characters aren't sympathetic enough to make you feel sorry for them, so enjoy this film as an offbeat comedy-drama-farce.
Witty snapshot of relationships among decadent academics
When I first saw this film I was a faculty member at a Canadian universty- the insights on society and relationships are hilarious and ring true.
A pithy, straight to the heart view of people and humanity.
One of the warmest, coolest and most bracing films I have seen. I cried with laughter and sadness and realisition at a film that is refreshingly bold about human weakness and strengths. Very funny, stirring, sad...true. SEE THIS FILM.
