So boring!

As their eyes meet across the room at a party, April and Frank hit it off and dance together. They become a couple and get married, unfortunately their marriage is problematic, they are always arguing and Frank is sleeping around. As an attempt to rekindle their marriage and start fresh, Frank and April decide to move to Paris.
First off, the acting in this movie is fantastic but that's a given as they were brill in Titanic. The storyline itself though, I found pretty boring, it just didn't feel like there was much of a storyline other than the story of a couple in a loveless marriage, and it wasn't interesting enough to keep me engaged. It's one of those movies I can recommend for a good performance, but I can't recommend it for its story sadly.

"That was the last record I bought, basically. It's taking psychedelic rock, some of it's bar room rock playing the same riff over and over again, but something about that repetition turns it into a more psychedelic experience. He kind of sings, but as far I can make out he's not actually singing any words, he's just making these growling sounds. It's got all the ingredients that would be in a Leonard Skynyrd song or something, but just as it becomes too much or is repeated too often, he boils it down to the bare bones of it, and there's something really interesting about that. Again, you can just kind of go off on one. You can tell that there's no smirking involved, you can tell it's the kind of music they like to get into a headspace. It takes you somewhere.  "
