    This is what they call a sleeper but actually Von Sydow is an insomniac ! Very close to the Bergmanesque feelings of despair and anguish, with his actors, Max Vob Sydow and Liv Ulmann and a Colombo/esquire inspector by Trevor Howard. Closer to Bergman in any respect than it is to Hitchcock. It's in color but it feels like black and white, has a literary quality, some clumsiness (especially with the weird accents and the whole atmosphere of countryside way backwards in time and development) and a twist ending like the old Twilight Zone or Ray Bradbury mystery stories. Shot in the blazing winter in Sweden and Denmark, featuring a bravura physical performance from Sydow it's a rare and weird team up from director Benedek (veteran of The Wild One and a lot of TV), with a producing Mel Ferrer (!) and a haunting scary score who works a sound design by Henry Mancini (Mancini and Ferrer worked together on Wait Until Dark before, another creepy classic). Saw this almost 20 years ago on TV by chance, made an incredible impression that stayed with me, couldn't get hold of it but now I saw it again and was struck again. Creepy as hell and you can feel the freezing cold ! A gem waiting to be rediscovered and i have a feeling somehow that someone will mess with this in a shitty remake.

  • for those who did not see the original it works...

    for those who did not see the original it might be a true experience. I's psychological, downbeat, darky and very serious, maybe too serious. There are glimpses of humour with the addition of Veek caretaker (Postlethwaite-reminding of Poalnski's Tenant)and John C. Reilly's real estate Murray (Rosemary's baby). It's like Salles and Iglesias took a peak at Polanski's films (including Repulsion), I wondered what kind of film Lucky Mc Gee (May) would have done of it. Unlike the first Ring remake they took this one seriously but forgot about the basic scares. It's as scary as strong a decaf coffee is compared to an Expresso. Also the Japanese have a specific thing about the water. The Americans don't, so they over float it with music and sound effects. And add some Shining to the mix. And the dysfunctional divorce. And the red jacket from Don't Look Now. Though I'm glad they did not change the ending. And being shot in Canada, wow, on set, good colors and set design, too noisy though. If you saw the original first, this one it's more of a drama with an addition of a bummer of scares and surprises (The Grudge translates better as you relocate an American in Tokyo) but it's still fun to see Tim Roth alone in the theater (a Sunday with the family at the movies ?!)

  • Les Yeux sans Visage of our time.

    it's hard to tell you more about this film without spoiling it. I enjoyed it because I wasn't expecting what I was seeing, but an ordinary sex-drama so.... It's a pscyho-sexual thriller, in which nothing is what it seems. It features Emmanuelle Seigner, no stranger to the genre (and to nudity) in which her husband, Polanski, had directed her. And a creepy performance (did I say creepy/yes CREEPY) from Toreton (Bernard Tavernier's actor). It looks like a Pascal Bruckner meets Roman Polanski (better than Bitter Moon), like a Chabrol gone astray or Clouzot thriller (I have seen someone mentioning Les Diaboliques), but closer to Georges Franju's Les Yeux sans Visage (Eyes without a face, the godfather of Dr. Phibes and more). A gem ! I am just afraid they will blow this into a Hollywood remake like they did with Nighwatch and The Vanishing.
