    Eva & Seigner!!

    Roman Polanski's one of the best movies. Thrilling 1.5 hrs approx. Eva Green was stunning. Seigner showed her aged beauty and experimented a new role for her. Thus duo was out of the box and in a word- Fabulous!!

    Kind of "Misery" - but with changed background

    Everything in movie was predictable, except one moment - which happened to be - unfinished in dead end street.

    - Scenario is lacking the deeper dialogs - because everything seems rushed - and shallow.

    - Then suddenly - the story began to look like the "Misery" - with locked hardly movable Delphine, with her injured leg - completely depend - of her younger "new friend" - in village house - with no people around - The "Misery" crawl out completely when Delphine ended up in bed, poisoned, and helpless, refused to surrender to her bully.

    - So the movie was not so original, and Misery was far better in creating story tense.

    - Actually the Misery part, should be the best one, but it came on 3/4 of the movie, probably seeing by Polanski as "peak" in story telling but it was to fast out - and leaved flat, leading imediately to end of the movie.

    - It's kind of shame - because the story could be less predictable, and be better filmed and screenplayed.

    It is written

    Writers block ... different edition. But again one, that you may have seen before or even if not, the mood of the movie seems to give away where this is heading. At least generally. If it were all smooth sailing, you wouldn't have a real movie. You need conflict in there, you need something that grips you and the characters in the movie.

    Hopefully the right way and the suspension must work too. In this case there are cliches and you may shake your head on how gullyble the main character seems to be. You may very well be annoyed by her behaviour. If that is the case, you may not really enjoy what is coming. But there are things to discover and it still works as mystery thriller. It may not be Polanskis best (or anyone elses), but it's more than decent

    Ghost writer

    Long ago,Roman Polanski had warned us: beware of the neighbors, beware of those would be friends who ,little by little, work their way in to your intimate world : that was "Rosemary 's baby" and "le locataire " (the tenant ") ;paranoia had also been the subject of "repulsion" .

    "D'après une histoire vraie" is psychological drama of the first order : Emmanuelle Seignier is as good as ever but the stand out is her co-star Eva Green : if looks could kill,her piercing green eyes certainly would ; always friendly ,but with something hard ,something threatening ;her motives remain obscure: a doppelganger , a lesbian attraction, something related to family past, a complete unknown in search of fame through an intermediary?

    Green goes as far as to look like her victim, adopting her hairdo ( recalling sometimes Claude Chabrol's "les biches " ) .And the ending remains ambiguous ,you can interpret it according to your own sensitivity .

    A weakness in the screenplay : the meeting with the librarian :the probability was close to zero! This is minor quibble though.
