Hannah

I really liked this movie, however, WHY was her husband put in jail?

I know silly question, have to know...

Hannah for me was a slow burn descent of one person's life in denial. Shot beautifully and conveys a lot of raw emotion with its stoic acting by Charlotte Rampling.

I personally felt this was a well shot film with some fantastic cinematography.

A very subtle, evocative independent film, with an existential atmosphere recalling Ingmar Bergman's works.

It's a quiet, serene picture of beautifully composed scenes, creating an ambience of seclusion and isolation. We experience the lonely life of a woman who has been rejected by everyone in her life, except her only outlet, a theater group she is involved with.

Some, inexperienced with artistic films, may not appreciate its somber nature. And it's definitely not for those expecting a complete narrative. The film is one big question mark of what happened to her, left up to the viewer's interpretation.

Hannah is a homage to Charlotte Rampling, who should have received more nominations for this performance, and who I hope will receive an achievement award for her career.

Twenty minutes into the movie I realized that I didn't know where it was going and that it gave me not enough clues to be ever figured out. But I kept on watching Rampling. Enjoying every moment of it.

Is it too much to ask for a plot?

This film tells the story of a woman, whose life is filled with rejection and loneliness.

The story is mundane, as it focuses on the daily life of the woman. It has a lot of scenes featuring her walking, cooking, and doing housework. It doesn't have a lot of dialog, so not much happens. Indeed, the film is very dull and boring. Perhaps it's a film to be felt, but I couldn't really feel it.
