| | Rocker's Last Days hard to watch, grasp: South Florida Sun-Sentinel (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07) |
 | | Van Sant's camera is almost sullen: It settles on what's in the frame and often refuses to move to catch what isn't, even when there's activity offscreen. |
 | | Blake's last unraveling is set entirely on the premises of his castle-like estate, and it happens not in slow motion but at the slow, clock-tick pace of a life lived in tedious isolation. |
 | | The camera's immobility reinforces Blake's disengagement and suicidal lack of interest, and it casts an unsentimental gaze on other characters, such as Blake's ragtag, live-in entourage (Lukas Haas, Asia Argento, Scott Green, Nicole Vicius). |
