Når man tvivler på kærligheden
6.0
Et lille mesterværk. Filmen er perfekt skåret både med hensyn til karakterer og plotline.
Charlize Theron er den ustabile hustru med en mental problematisk fortid, og filmen er bygget op omkring hendes virkelighedsforvrængning i en grad, som elegant tangerer Neil Jordans "In Dreams".
Rand Ravich har villet vise, hvad der sker hvis man ikke løbende i forholdet kan finde tilbage til den kærlighed, der oprindelig grundlagde forholdet. Med andre ord hvad der kan ske, hvis man begynder at tvivle på den anden.
Og han gør det mesterligt.
Referencen i filmen, don, er til George Stevens "Penny Serenade" fra 1941, hvis tagline netop var
"Remember the tune they were singing... the night we fell in love?..."
Og det er det Theron ikke kan.
Det eneste der manglede for mig i filmen var Bowies Starman, der siger det hele, nemlig at det ikke er alle, der kan tåle at blive konfronteret med deres mørke side. Depp kunne.
Didn't know what time it was and the lights were low
I leaned back on my radio
Some cat was layin' down some rock 'n' roll 'lotta soul,
he said
Then the loud sound did seem to fade
Came back like a slow voice on a wave of phase
That weren't no D.J. that was hazy cosmic jive
There's a starman waiting in the sky
He'd like to come and meet us
But he thinks he'd blow our minds
There's a starman waiting in the sky
He's told us not to blow it
Cause he knows it's all worthwhile
He told me:
Let the children lose it
Let the children use it
Let all the children boogie
I had to phone someone so I picked on you
Hey, that's far out so you heard him too!
Switch on the TV
we may pick him up on channel two
Look out your window I can see his light
If we can sparkle he may land tonight
Don't tell your poppa or he'll get us locked up in fright
