Man from Elysian Fields

Pros: Story, Performances

Cons: Some minor fumbles

The Bottom Line: The bottom line will never work at Elysian Fields.

Review: Every once in a while I run across the term “incompatible with life”. As in “this medical condition is incompatible with life”. Or, maybe, “your decision not to pay your loan shark debt is incompatible with life”. In simpler ...

Pros: Good performances from the cast. Well-directed film.

Cons: Bittersweet script leaves you somewhat unsatisfied.

The Bottom Line: I recommend The Man From Elysian Fields. If you're a Mick Jagger fan, you are going to like him in this film. Good script and great direction.

Review: Legendary rocker Mick Jagger does the narration and plays a major role as an owner of an upscale escort service in this morality film, The Man From Elysian Fields, which is a story that is similar to Goethe's Faust.
