The acting kept me watching this film and the images were interesting, but it is all completely defused by the fact that the story was downright silly. Douglas Adams' invention of the pig that wants to be eaten was a good joke but this film seeks to take the same principle to present truisms as profound insight. "Life is short" is about as profound as saying the sky is up there and the ground is down there. I have not read the novel (and nor will I after seeing this tripe) but I have read 'Remains of the Day' which was made into a good film. Maybe he has run out of ideas and has to scrape up plots from Hollywood blockbusters like 'The Island'.
