Death and the Maiden (1995)

£0.00


Country: GB/US/FR
Technical: col 103m
Director: Roman Polanski
Cast: Sigourney Weaver, Ben Kingsley, Stuart Wilson

Synopsis:

In a South American country a husband and wife play host to the victim of a highway breakdown incident, and she recognizes the interrogator who tortured her in her radical student days.

Review:

Gripping drama turns into absorbingly acted cinema, and the director hits his stride again after a decade or more of indifferent movies. The chamber format recalled Cul de Sac, but it was one to which he would return later with Carnage and Venus in Furs.
