Star (I) (2001)
6/10
A somewhat different assignment
16 June 2015
Warning: Spoilers
This is another short film starring Clive Owen as a mysterious driver. The whole thing runs for 9 minutes, but the last 2 minutes are credits. Owen was still a very possible candidate for stepping into Pierce Brosnan's shoes as James Bond when this was made almost 15 years ago, He did not get the part, but at least he could drive Madonna around in this short movie. The queen of pop music plays a more extreme version of herself in here, a superstar with massive airs and graces. Obviously, this is also a sarcastic take on what media report on Madonna in terms of her alleged narcissism. The writer and director here was Guy Ritchie, Madonna's newly-wed husband. The action is not too memorable, but it's not too bad either. The whole thing gets rounded up with a catchy tune by Blur. All in all worth a watch, even if the drama from the other entries to Owen's driver series is not really there this time. Probably the funniest out of these. Recommended.
