Alain E @AlainE Jun 18 A smart movie centered around a colorful dress that travels from woman to woman bringing increasing levels of bad luck. Even its depiction on a painting doesn’t end well. In the process there is commentary on contemporary society and interpersonal relationships. See more 07/21/2013 Directed by Alex van Warmerdam, the same director who brought the recently viewed Grimm to the screen, The Dress is another somewhat surreal tale that follows a dress from its conception through the manufacturing process, and as it is worn by its various possessors. Most of those who came in contact with the dress came to some mischief. If Grimm would have been rated PG, then this one would probably have to be R, with a good bit of nudity, adult situations, and a certain creep factor. With these two films under my belt, I can definitely say I am a fan of the director's work. Quite an interesting filmmaker with a unique vision. I have several more of his films all queued up.

Well-written, gloomy, quirky; but despite the linking device and several recurring characters, the stories lack a unifying thematic thread, beyond pessimism. See more Read all reviews
