Allow me to make a case for a controversial filmmaker despite his inarguably awful new work, and perhaps even despite the general course of his career since 1994.

An agreeable enough watch--that is, until the film is over, when you realize that not once did you care for any of these characters.

After makinh some significant indies about gay teen angst, Araki's point of departure is a below-mediocre romantic triangle picture that borrows heavily from Noel Coward, Hawks, and Cukor but without freshn insights or charm.

Splendor, purportedly a a sex farce, has had all of its joy and energy surgically removed.

It's far from great, has nothing remotely memorable about it and suffers from a certain derivativeness.
