Alejandro E @Alex970 Jan 4 The story of three characters trapped in an extreme situation is somewhat reminiscent of Polanski's early works. It may not be on a par with his greatest achievements, but seeing Weaver and Kingsley together makes it well worth the effort. See more Ricardo C. @ricneo14671929 Jan 3 Intense . With 3 Solid Performances from the only 3 leads . See more Romas M @Romas Nov 10 Greetings from Lithuania. "Death and the Maiden" (1994) is a thriller staring Sigourney Weaver, Ben Kingsley and Stuart Wilson, It is set in one location and focuses on one key event, which i won't spoil for everyone who haven't seen this movie yet. This is a tense thriller with great performances by all three involved - they all did terrific job. Directing by Roman Polanski was also good as it at its running time 1 h 40 min i wasn't bored and was involved into it. This movie isn't an action thriller by any means and is more of a character study movie. The ending was very good and not generic in my opinion. Overall, i liked "Death and the maiden" because it is not a typical thriller. It is based on a popular play that run many decades ago, and you can feel that it is all based on a play - one location, hand of characters and plenty of dialogs.

Polanski at his best! Appears to have been nicely restored. Not a date movie, unless you are in a sadomasochistic relationship. Ben Kingsley deserved an Oscar for assholiness.

Great ending. Ben Kingsley is impressive. See more Read all reviews
