VHS Movie Reviews of Closet Land [VHS]Movie Review: Powerful! Summary: 5 Stars This is a one movie that I wish would come out on DVD. It is one of the best films i have ever seen.
Movie Review: Superb performance! Summary: 5 StarsI just saw Closet land and I am still overwhelmed by it. I like watching films with Alan Rickman anyway, but his and Madeleine Stowes performance is surely "art", the kind of thing we germans call "Kammerspiel" (chamber play).
I am very sure I will watch this film again, then I might be able to note more nucances. Being german, I had to concentrate on the dialog the first time I saw it.
Movie Review: Two People in a Room, No Names, No Identities Summary: 5 StarsI originally saw this video for Alan Rickman's performance and as usual he doesn't disappoint. But be prepared for a very unpleasant movie.
This is the story of a children's author that is brought in for "questioning" by a nameless government. The whole film takes place in one room where she is questioned (tortured) by a government official (Rickman). The story quickly becomes psychological warfare between the two characters as the "victim" is not as easily broken as the government inquisitor first thought. By the end of the movie the balance of power has shifted and it's the inquisitor who may break under his own sadism.
The violence in the movie is not horror movie graphic but it is far more brutal in its realistic potrayal. The actual acts are cut-aways that you don't see(mostly) but the suggestion of the acts make you squirm.
I did find the strange sub-plot of their relationship revealed at the end to be out of place. I didn't think it necessary to the stark experimental plot. But that's just my opinion. The ending is left up to the viewer.
Did he free her or kill her?
After seeing this film you will feel grateful for the freedoms that we have. To read, critisize or praise any film or book. I know I am.
Movie Review: YIKES! Summary: 5 StarsThis is one of the best movies that I have ever seen, and I will never EVER voluntarily see it again. I also won't tell you the plot, just go into this knowing it's not a "feel good" movie but is so brilliantly written directed and acted that it qualifies as an experience.
Movie Review: I Will Wright this Wrong and Rate this item 5 What it Deserves When IT Release's On DVD on R1 and not in R4 USA as it should be Summary: 1 Stars
I Will Wright this Wrong and write a real review, if and when and only when it gets Released On DVD by Imagine Entertainment in (North America, R1) (Region 1) as it should be! Or if some other Distributor wants to buy the wrights to it Like Sony, or NLC-NLV, That's ok with me! But I will say this It is a very well done film as well as acted, Richman and Stowe are amazing " AFTER ITS ON DVD!" TO you Left wing and Right wing Extremists DO NOT WATCH THIS FILM I HATE ALL YOU EXTREMISTS! Because all you will do is complain! So don't watch it! YOU People are what's wrong with the USA, Politics, and Film All in one. This is a Film Not a Political statement It's not WITHOUT Political over tones. (If you didn't understand that READ IT AGAIN!) Nor is it a Film about Abortion, Government Torturer, or Sexual abuse! These are just shades of gray conversations, please don't look at only one bush stroke, observe the entire painting from afar and enjoy.
