10/16/2020 Cerebral drab movie for Malkovich and Deneuve to collect a paycheck See more 05/08/2011 Creepy, but for some reason I get the feeling that the movie was made only to justify Catherine & John's Portugal island vacation. Luv CD always. See more 04/09/2011 While the summary sounds promising, the movie struck me as rather boring -- there is some interesting cinematography going on, the music is also interesting, and it does have some good actors, but it just did not come together for me. See more 02/24/2011 Evocative to the point of ho-hum, and far too mysterious for its own good. The story is overripe with portentous shadows, silences (broken by those slams), and bitter or yearning glances. See more 12/27/2009 A mysterious movie, its Gothic atmosphere imbued with a heavy assemblage of pulp-like fantasies, that is almost like a Lang film, camp and yet, dictated in a artistry of Oliveira that owes a lot to literature and plays. I absolutely adored the female characters in here and Deneuve does so well here, an actress who works in multiple types of films and one who is so endearing, a typical unhappy female who is displeased for the wrong reasons, as seen in 'A Christmas Tale' and in 'Belle du Jour', both at varying tail-ends of her career. Using her is the antithesis of using Swinton. Swinton carries a film on her shoulders but Deneuve, she reeks of charm and adds a delightful taste in what are already exceptional films.
