Desolation Sound

I want to see this movie again. So many details. Great to see Jennifer Beals and Lothaire Bluteau. The acting is really, really good. Nothing is over stated. The puppets were dark and shadowy. This movie has a lot of depth and psychological intrigue. The film makers took me on a scary ride. Weird to see Ed Begley Jr. in a movie like this but oddly enough he worked in the part of the cop. His wife "Kathy" (who also wrote the movie) was good but we needed to know more about her. The location was beautiful. Too bad we didn't get to see more of the area. The story was not so very original but it was surprising how quickly they sucked me in, I was really scared for "Laurel" This story was creepy but there was something so very beautiful about it all at the same time.

Desolation Sound is about two longtime friends that have a falling out. The friend made out with the husband, the wife made out with the constable, the daughter sleep walks, and the local bike riding village idiot is an ex-con. As Joy's husband (Tracey) takes of for a few weeks in Alaska on a picture shoot, Beals arrives to visit her blood girl friend Joy at desolation sound and engages in death by friend. Only Joy doesn't get it at first so she hides the murder in her rose garden with the help of local idiot Bluteau, changes her hair color, and sleeps with the local constable (Begley). When the constable and the husband find out about the death they take the path less chosen. Technically a pretty good film, but it moves a little too slow.

Well II just saw this movie last night, but not for the first time but there's this song that I would really like to know what it is called. It comes on around the time after she goes to yoga and she puts the wine glass to her lips. It has a creepy feel type of rhythm but it also has piano keys. And I believe it starts out "Remember me when you write at night", or something along th lines of that, can anyone help me out? I'd really appreciate it. This was an incredibly good movie and that song made it even better in my opinion, but maybe I just like it because it sounds depressing and I love depressing music. It seems that this song would relate to me, my life, I lost the love of my life, not in death but in my heart, he hates me and this song helps.

The only reason why I planned to watch this film, was the name of the film. I think "Desolation Sound" is an excellent name for a movie. It attracts the attention. I expected a lot of this film, even though it was a TV-film.

I was disappointed after seeing it.

It was't by far as good as the title sounds. The acting was mostly pretty good, the cinematography was by moments also nice and the music was pretty good to.

But in general this is an average film that is enjoyable at some moments. If you don't expect too much of it, you will find it O.K.

I really enjoyed this film. I like the way the kid was acting out the mother's distress..re: the sleepwalking, stealing..etc. The layering of this film is lovely. It shows the complex nature of friendship and how we mirror each other's fears. I have been to the West Coast and was blown away how beautiful the cinematographer captured the look of it. The night scenes were so captivating I felt like I was there again. The subtleties in the script keep you thinking long after it has ended. I easily became emotionally attached To the characters and the general spookiness of it gave it a nice edge. The writer left out needless filler conversation leaving it to the Director to complete the moment. I was a little nervous about seeing Jennifer Beals again but her performance was outstanding. Refreshing to See a film less concerned with fast cuts and cheap fillers but Confident of it's slow pace and great writing.
