The Lost Door

I have seen the movie a couple of times...and I could...probably will... look at it more often. It's a piece of contemporary Art, in mine eyes, which triggers my perception in many ways. Like; what's the movie trying to say? Every time that I look at it I see different things. Things such as; Light instead of heavy, a flash trough the head, earth, sex?, live/death, good/bad, pleasure and most of all nothingness; pop up in my head. The whole thing is beautifully done in Mr. Stuart's typical style. I see interesting looking people, a lot of emotion triggering my own and its pleasant and quite unique (to me). The pale, cold and natural look make the movie pretty and erotically stimulating in a chic hysterical kind of way. It leaves me thinking; it doesn't really matter. And; it tastes like more. I cant completely understand / put my finger on it, it being the movie, and I think that that the Artist's intent is. Cause that's what keeps on playing in my mind strongest after having watched it. Very Nicely done!

I took pleasure in watching The Lost Door.

It is poetic and very beautifully filmed, this in contrast to the dark subject. I love the acting and the story, how it enrolls and how it ends in a surprising way. I was swept away by the poetry and the play with music and sound versus speech. More than an erotic film The Lost Door is a statement and an invitation to explore our human condition and so-called free will. It is much deeper than one would expect, pretty much an art pamphlet that puts new light on human relations.

The different layers invite to watch the movie several times. Which I intend to do.

There is so much to be enjoyed.

There is little that is not a struggle or confrontation in life. This movie shows the showdown between two people, at opposite odds, who are not able to understand one another. But who may be the same. Production values are high, while production costs are well below almost virtually all studio budgets. And produced and directed by a singular artist. While there are structural problems in the script, an attempt was made to make up for them, that is obvious. Casting is uneven, but the actions and the situations of the characters are engaging and make the viewer want to see and listen to more. Stuart's photography and lighting, well-known via his books, highlight erotic and dramatic moments that bring to life real people in a contemporary art scheme of life: nothing matters, but that nothing is a matter of life or death.

"The Lost Door" to me, is a poetic roller-coaster trip. What I mean by that, is that the viewer may be overwhelmed by the film. There is so much to see! You really need to see the film more than once to fully appreciate it. Kristina's memories, I call them "glimpses from her mind", are filmed in a visually beautiful way and accompanied with poems and great music, that is composed by Roy Stuart himself. I think they are pieces of art in themselves.

I have seen "The Lost Door" several times now and I think it is a piece of art and a must see! The visuals, the sound and the story makes you think.

I think summarising the whole film I could to the least say that it is nicely filmed

although the contents of it are not to my usual likes..

maybe as a movie is not suited but to a particular kind of audience.

However the main character Kristina has a very powerful presence

and for that alone the film deserves to be seen and merits to be appreciated

I would recommend to watch this more than only ones as you may find that it has a certain provocative intentions that go behind expectations

Mikaela Fisher is an astonish actress

of a breath taking beauty and has got a real flair !!
