Seen on 23-2-2013 -- STRANGE INTRIGUING MOVIE (WILL someone help us understand this)
Based on Ian McEwan's novel of the same title this is about pathological strangers in Venice (Christopher Walker and Helen Mirren) who befriend a visiting couple (Rupert Everett and Natasha Richardson) from England and bring the man to an end at the end!! The screenplay is by Harold Pinter who has actually beguiled us with his intellectual reputation into watching this movie but we have yet to understand the pathology of this grisly ending. Also we have yet to understand the strange relationship of this English couple who have been seeing each other for seven years without committing to marriage and have come to Venice to sort out their confusion in relationship. THIS IS A MOVIE THAT NEEDS TO BE UNDERSTOOD WITH HELP FROM REAL SOURCES. ROGER EBERT'S REVIEW IS EQUALLY EVASIVE AND IS TOTALLY UNHELPFUL.
We were mystified by the strange theme of the movie and the mystification is not least to the lack of subtitles for one and we started watching it after 40 minutes of the run.
The movie is directed by Paul Schrader.
