I was enormously disappointed in both Prelude to a Kiss and Posession.

Prelude is based in a really wonderful play by Craig Lucas, which I had read in theater history class as an example of a new(er) genre: magic realism. The characters are quirky but sincere, especially Peter, the central character. You really have to relate to Peter so that you care about everything else. The film featured Alex Baldwin and he played Peter as a 'toon. I couldn't have cared less and the entire film went down the tube behind his performance.

[i]Posession[//i] is based on a novel by A.S. Byatt and is one of the most touching stories.. It's also a very smart renaissance of the Romantic ideal, including all the classical elements (messages gone astray, sturm und drang, the works). They took all the passion out of the story and what was left was dry as toast. Wonder Bread toast.
