Faux-semblants

Un expresso cronenbergien incroyablement fort sans aucun grain de sucre et une goutte de crème. Réalisé de manière cinématographique à la fois géniale et chirurgicale. Cependant, lors de la première vision, il est impénétrable. Je verrai avec le temps... (20/03/2009)

Cronenberg is a master of the dark corners of our minds, navigating them like few others and demonstrating over the years how skillfully he handles his favored subject matter. In each of his films, we witness what is dark within a person; yet each film remains different, new, and unique. When I wrote this review, I hadn’t yet seen A Dangerous Method, but it was one of the films I was eagerly anticipating. (22/11/2013)

Cold and detached, but captivating in a weird fashion. Cronenberg portrays perversion again with this psychological/psychopathic drama, but this time we see (almost) nothing. The perversion is just hanging everywhere in the air. Irons delivers a brilliant double performance in a very weird and unpleasant film. (04/06/2010)

A very bold and original affair. A film so intricate and complex in its essence that it would make for several stacks of studies from different fields. Psychologically very sophisticated, yet emotionally a bit austere (except for the ending, which is really strong and excellent). And Jeremy Irons gives a truly incredible performance(s). (31/12/2010)
