Movie Info

An unnamed author of children's books (Madeleine Stowe) is woken from her bed in the middle of the night and taken from her home to a bland office where she faces an unnamed interrogator (Alan Rickman). Her book -- about a young girl who has been locked in a closet as punishment and the innocent creatures she meets there -- has been accused of harboring hidden anti-government messages. As the interrogator and his victim spar, secrets are revealed that raise even deeper questions.

    A brilliant movie, you'll be astounded that there were only two actors in the entire film. Rickman's best performance ever! I loved this movie. The story is a bit far fetched, but it's sorta surreal too. I highly recommend this movie.

    Some interesting mind games between Rickman and Stowe with some actual interrogation/torture techniques make this intriguing.

    I enjoyed every minute of this, even though Rickman is a very bad man. (Maybe that is why I liked this film). It is definitely not for the normal people out there. Very twisted.

    Sadistic!Rickman porn brought to you by Amnesty International! Really brilliant, but by no means a fun or a light film to watch because of some of the scenes (not because of what it shown, but what it left unshown) and the underlying message.
