was not so much that I wrote about the criticism of some creative manipulation,
and in fact I had never done before in cinema, but want the chance , want the movie in question, want
for many other small or not small motifs, here I am talking in this blog of a film of the last new '94 discussed Polanski.
The story takes place in an undefined country in South America recently emerged from a brutal dictatorship,
in which, near the coast, lives the family of Gerardo and Paulina Escobar (Sigourney Weaver and Stuart Wilson).
Gerardo is a kind of democratic restructuring of the superstar, and has just agreed to direct the Board
that will investigate human rights violations occurred during the years of dictatorship, during which
Paulina, as a dissident, suffered terrible torture and sexual violence. Paulina is aware
of office by a radio news bulletin, just before a blackout that will isolate the house by telephone.
the return of her husband who comes home together on a different car, Paulina panics,
off and the candles that light the home, takes refuge in the shadows at the window, armed with a gun.
Seeing the husband calms down and finds the hole and took his car through the kindness of
(Ben Kingsley) in her home.
When the situation appears to fall in the calm after a discussion also took issue with the new appointment of Gerard,
the friendly stranger returns to deliver the rubber that had been forgotten, and go for a drink.
From here, everything takes a dark turn, and it will happen a sequence of more or less hidden truth that will definitely float,
that the nightmares will never placated by an intense Sigourney Weaver into the deep
and wrap the plot in a black glaze, teeming with dramatic memories.
The type description is typical of paranoia polanskiana , which can not fail to recall
anxiety were well known for films like "The Tenant".
The Weaver can dominate and lead the psychological mood of the viewer with uncanny naturalness,
giving proof of great skill.
Perhaps not among the best known and highly filmed by French / Polish, but I personally think this work
an essential film to see a full syntactic and historical understanding of the filmmaker.
