Sam Neill and Isabele Adjani deserve some sort of Medal of Bravery for their work here (ESPECIALLY Adjani). 10 years 6 months ago -

The first half is perhaps the most intense display of directing and acting I've ever seen. Adjani and Neill firmly set the benchmark for emotional anguish among dysfunctional couples! The second half of the movie is where things starts becoming bizarre as Adjani's character knocks down the door to la-la land and Sam Neill starts grinning and scheming as if he is mixing up his act with that of his other 1981 performance in The Omen III. Sprincle on some special effects and one has to ask - what the fuck is going on? - great fun nonetheless and somewhat interpretable until the floating dead dog scene. After that it was anyone's guess as to what was going on. Jolly good package, but perhaps it went too far. 10 years 5 months ago -
