Query: no laughing matter

I did not like this movie. I tried but I found it devoid of feeling. One does feel for Lily, she is a tragic figure. She does not represent a person, but an ideal - an uncompromising figure sacrificed by lesser souls.Eric Stolz is a disappointment as her "lover". Indeed, no chemistry evolved between him and Gillian Anderson, whom I personally found stunning. He is, as another review says, too immature for the role, he has the voice of a teenager, is glib, heartless and insincere.The film is somehow gut wrenching, but not in a cathartic way. You do not feel good when it is over, or cleansed, just empty. And sad, very sad because it was all so meaningless.
