Films/DVD Asylum

Forget the intellectual side (quite pretentious, but still fun), but the film has one of the most beautiful pair of boobs to grace the screen in recent memory.

The film itself? Well, not too bad for a late night viewing, but hardly more. It is a murder mystery for those considering themselves "intellectuals" - they will have a moderate amount of fun, and some of it is admittedly stimulating... even more so - quite unusual in modern cinema, so with all its faults perhaps it still IS a breath of fresh air.

However, that area of interest starts losing its promise around the mid-point, where the film begins to quickly acquire the stinky Hollywoodian flavor, heading for the truly unremarkable ending, with the mandatory explanation.

Be it as it may, worth looking at for the typically good performance by John Hurt (good old school actors are dying at an alarming rate), and Leonor Watling (Talk to Her) as an obligatory eye candy.
