A Life Less Ordinary (Danny Boyle, 1997)

Immediately following Trainspotting, this is another delightful comedy by Danny Boyle. I liked it so much probably partly because I have a soft spot for both Ewan McGregor and Cameron Diaz (more for the latter than the former, of course). Holly Hunter in this film is an immediate continuation from Raising Arizona, it seems. And the final clay animation sequence is so cute. It's Danny's merit to have found a Scotland-like landscape in Colorado (this is my guess). It's stunningly beautiful. A filmmaker is a person who knows how to turn a landscape into a distant place. Four thumbs up, and I'm on my back!
