caitriJust saw Prozac Nation and plan on writing a lengthy analysis within the week. In the meantime, here are some highlights of observation:
*Christina Ricci's gratuitous boobies (much in the style of Liv Tyler's boobies in Stealing Beauty: not that I am complaining about boobies except I just wonder why they are there)(apart from reproductive purposes that have nothing to do with the film).
*What is up with all the daddy issues?
*Annoying smirky moment of therapist Anne Heche with her small urchin looking disapprovingly at an overwrought Christina (motherhood=healthy, just having sex=bad)(sound familiar?!).
*Lack of anything to really do with Prozac. 85 minutes take up Christina smoking, drinking, bitching, and fucking, 15 minutes of pill-popping and being "normal" as annoying family members look on in approval.
*Irritatingness of a protagonist who gets a scholarship to Harvard, writes for Rolling Stone at the age of like 18, has Jonathan Rhys-Meyers with an American accent and a matured Jason Biggs as boyfriends, but is still mostly concerned with being "normal." Um.
