Saw the Oscar nominated 'Michael Clayton' last night with a small crowd of people on a small screen in a small theatre.
The film is moody, brooding and dark. I noticed the lack of burnishing golden lighting. I really admired Clooneys effort to play an everyman, low key subdued and with admirable restraint.
Overall? Excellent film! There was something about it that seemed to suggest it was deliberately underscored as a production given its weighty subject matter (a billion dollar class action lawsuit ) as it could have easily slipped into melodrama and subplots like alcoholism or WHATEVER. Instead it avoids this with a tightly focused storyline sowe end up feeling aroused, provoked and riveted to the action on the screen.
I just loved Tom Wilkinsons performance.
Actually, come to think of it, this film is a tour de force.

Found this neat little X reference Googling the film.
