Cloud Atlas

There's a lot of shit in here that really needs the context and subtlety of the page. The crosscutting works except when it doesn't and you're left going from weightless future-Korea shootouts to Broadbent's genteel adventures in a nursing home. Wishaw brings life to his character but his suicide is so unmotivated yet clearly intended to be 'beautiful' that the film lost me. Faux-Asian makeup = Benedict Cumberbatch.
