Hav'Plenty (1998) *

An unbearably tedious film about a homeless writer and his upper-class girlfriend. It's badly lit, poorly designed, woodenly acted, and unimaginatively written. Actors moan, groan and squeak for almost two hours, forcing unfortunate viewers to either flee the movie theatre or acknowledge their masochistic tendencies. The ending is pseudo-brechtian, but genuinely pretentious.
