Alec B I like that Polanski uses the confines of a two person play to his advantage rather than trying to expand the material for the film adaptation. The result is a claustrophobic thriller of sorts were suspense is derived not from danger, but from the ever so gradual upending of gender and sexual politics. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/18/23 Full Review Audience Member This is an excellent adaptation of the play. If you like clever seesaws, you will love this clever seesaw. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review júlio a Mas que filmeeeeee absurdo de maravilhoso de bom. Só com 2 atores e nada leve o diálogo. Amei amei. Favorito fácil. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Without any excess, a simple "recorded rehearsal" immerses you on permanent tension. Characters that surprise by their completeness and actors that excel at their roles. Just a under-climatic ending affects the perception of a great movie. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Mathieu Amalric is a playwright directing his own adaptation of the novel "Venus in Furs". Emmanuelle Seigner arrives late for her audition, but stuff happens and he agrees to let her audition anyway. A lot of other stuff happens. I kind of hate this film. I'll say up front that Seigner is wildly miscast in this part. She's easily 30 years too old for this role. That said, that has little to do with why I hated this film. It's an hour and a half of nonsense all designed to arrive at the destination you can see coming from 5 minutes into it. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Odd small film of the play of the book has a writer (who looks rather like Polanski) at the end of a day auditioning women for the role of Vanda taken by surprise by a woman called Vanda who slowly reveals herself as being fully familiar with the play as well as perhaps asking if the writer is writing about himself, where reality and fiction meet and the nature of performance. Very well acted and that holds the interest easily. Well worth catching at home. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
