Paul Auster’s “The Inner Life of Martin Frost”

While Paul Auster’s novels that weave narrative within narratives are extraodinary, his film “The Inner Life of Martin Frost” was less inspired than his written words. The film was not conceptually rigerous and felt a bit self indulgent. Visually is was pat, and not spectacular in any way. Movies, of for that matter novels about artists’ muses need to have that extra something otherwise they fall into the obvious.
