Television

[kid-glove]

Somehow the pacing, and tonal sweep of "Heavenly creatures" seems to be lost, in later PJ films. Esp. LOTR adaptations, of course, bigger story, longer time (all 3 or 4 hour long, extended cut works better, esp. The Return of the king), massive sweep from casting to production design to special effects.. Ultimately, he does what he could. I don't think he lost control, he does his best.
