A movie that looks like a muddy second-generation Xerox and contains all the emotional and intellectual appeal of cold tea and soggy toast.
Top CriticThe fragmented storytelling is, well, vintage Pinter, but Ms. Dench and Mr. Irons remain mesmerizing after all this time.
A flinty-eyed portrait of romantic naïveté and predatory narcissism that would likely have continued to gather dust in the archives if not for its retroactive star power.
The story is a muted melodrama made strange and haunting by the manner of its telling.
An atmospheric and subtly engrossing relationship saga.
Imogen and Otto's happenstance affair holds little intrigue or surprise.
The spectacle of two such ferocious actors going at it in the context of a complex, thoughtful drama makes this one worth going down for.
There's something haunting about the airlessness and lethargy of this tucked-away corner of the world.
The screenplay is so very Pinter as to be positively painful.
A rare treat -- catch it while you can.
