Vincentiu

Love like ambiguous experience

Love like ambiguous experience. A new story about another Dorian Gray and the price of passion. Betrayal and dangerous game, traps and forms of propriety, soft lies and subtle temptations.

A story about the value of truth and the burden of gestures. A beautiful film about human relationship nuances. The gay love is only excuse for deep exploration of feelings and their metamorphosis. Tim Cornish must be a victim for his perfect life, his beauty and success. In his passion for Ivo is not the mark of special sin but the shadow of old Greek anenke. Isabela is a lure but, in same time, the best instrument to understand his existence's sense. And Ivo, the fascinating Ivo, subtle spider of beginning, final victim of Tim's deep guilt, he is Gray's portrait. Tim must be himself and the price is never huge.

A beautiful movie about the life's nooks.

Real surprise package

This truly terrific thriller scores in all departments. First and foremost is Lee William's stunningly intense and passionate central performance. He has completely internalized his complex character, bringing it to the screen with tremendous conviction in a display of faultless acting. Marc Warren, resembling a Malcolm Macdowell of younger days, doesn't quite have the same grasp on his character, which at times loses credibility, but fortunately not enough to spoil the film. Mikela Mikael captures a lovely vulnerability so necessary for the plot to work.

This is a thriller that works on all levels, which is an achievement few thrillers seem to attain. The plot twists are indeed unexpected and for the length of the movie the viewer is kept riveted to the unfolding story. The cinematography is of the highest level, especially with the amazing Alaskan seascapes but also the carefully shot interiors. Director Tom Shankland who put all this together is certainly a name to watch.

Having no expectations or preconceptions about the film, plus the fact of these actors being completely unknown (well, to me anyway), made this one great surprise package. There are not that many classy thrillers around; if that's your pleasure you won't want to miss this one.

Absolutely amazing!

I cannot recommend this movie highly enough. Both Lee Williams and Marc Warren are amazing in their respective roles. Williams is superb as the confused young man who enjoys the chase more than the end result, and Warren meets this fine job with one of his own; he is excellent as the angry and bitter lover who cannot get his heart free. The story is also top-rate, very depressing, but so true to life that it can't be faulted. I didn't like the casting choice of Isobel, I rather thought that she was played too old, but otherwise, this film was brilliant, definitely worth your time.

NEVER NOT!

This film explores, then examines, the nature and presence of love but does not attempt to explain it. That is the hallmark of its success.

From the opening sequence through the rolling credits, we are invited to believe that although gender and jealousy may present obstacles to true love, they will never defeat it. It is an invitation we cannot refuse.

The plot for all its reliance on coincidence and remote possibility, serves to remind us that true love may be easy to recognize but difficult to find, in a world of increasing cynicism and heartbreak.

Moreover, it encourages us to accept that the experience of true love defies logic and analysis but rather should be savored, for love, like life, is transient - in the face of time and changing circumstance.

Most memorable line: `I love you, my adorable hedgehog. Never not.'

Great film, shame about the politics

I agree with all the other comments that this is indeed a well made film and works superbly as a fantastic thriller.

HOWEVER, let's all be aware that it contains some truly blinding homophobic stereotypes. Specifically: Gay men can be cured by meeting the right girl, Once meeting said girl, former gay man becomes repulsed by other men, Bisexuals have no morals, Inside every gay/bisexual man beats the heart of a psychopath, spurned gay men act psychotic and therefore should be avoided at all costs.

There are three gay men in this film and all of them should be sectioned! I do agree that it is a great film and superbly shot and acted (God knows I'll never be able to look at a four poster bed again without thinking of the sexy Marc Warren!), but for once can we have some gay characters in a thriller that are NORMAL??? Just wanted to point this out, Enjoy! - Mike.

Curiosidades
The film makes reference to the opera "Der Rosenkavalier" in several ways. The film title comes from the closing pages of Act 2 where Baron Ochs sings the phrase « Ohne mich, ohne mich jeder Tag dir so bang ; Mit mir, mit mir keine Nacht dir so lang », which Tim, recalling his passionate times with Ivo, renders as "Without me, without me every day is a misery; With me, with me no night is too long.".

Citas
Dr. Ivo Steadman: So, where is he?
[Silence from Isabel, Ivo glances towards the kitchen]
Dr. Ivo Steadman: Oh...
[whispers]
Dr. Ivo Steadman: Where is he?
Kit Winwood: [Walking in from the kitchen] Where's who?
Isabel: [to Ivo] I thought you might have known?
Dr. Ivo Steadman: Well, if I knew I wouldn't be asking, would I?
Kit Winwood: Who are we talking about here?
Dr. Ivo Steadman: We're talking about Tim Cornish, a friend of mine from England. Well, he was a... a lover.
Kit Winwood: Ahh...
Dr. Ivo Steadman: He'd come with me on one of my lecture cruises, and we stopped off at this island, and we ended up having a fight. And, uh... well, I fell against a rock, I was out cold and...
[pause]
Dr. Ivo Steadman: He left me there. Dead, as far as he knows.
Kit Winwood: Jesus! How long were you there?
Dr. Ivo Steadman: Two or three days. One of my colleagues got suspicious. So, the next cruise stopped off and uh... here I am.
Kit Winwood: Oh my God... this guy really wanted to kill you?
Dr. Ivo Steadman: He wanted me out of the way because he's got another lover.
Kit Winwood: Is that who he's with now?
Dr. Ivo Steadman: [Looks at Isabel] ... I don't know.
Kit Winwood: [Getting suspicious] What's going on here?
Dr. Ivo Steadman: But what I do know is that when he tried to kill me, he had every intention of resuming the affair.
Kit Winwood: [Angry] So who the hell is the affair with?
Dr. Ivo Steadman: [Looking accusingly at Isabel] ... My sister.
[Isabel flees up the stairs, Ivo jumps off the couch and goes after her]
Dr. Ivo Steadman: Isabel. ISABEL!
[Slamming on her bedroom door]
Dr. Ivo Steadman: Open this fucking door! How could you do this to me?
Isabel: You shouldn't have asked me!
Dr. Ivo Steadman: I thought I could trust you?
Isabel: I didn't want anything to do with it! Asking me to spy on him while you were away, making sure that he didn't misbehave, it was... it was ridiculous!
Dr. Ivo Steadman: [Near tears] But you knew! You knew what I felt for him!
[Slams on the door]
Dr. Ivo Steadman: You knew what I felt for him!
