Feast of July

I'm usually all for a Merchant Ivory Production but I must confess FEAST OF JULY has always bored the living crap out of me. Sure, Embeth Davidtz of ARMY OF DARKENESS, THE HOLE, and THIR13EN GHOSTS fame is pleasant enough to watch in a serious romantic role and Ben Chaplin delivers some fine work but the script is tawdry and boring. As always with a Merchant Ivory film the visuals are a feat for the eyes but to be true it is the only feast to be found here.
