The Ghost Writer...(spoilers avoided)

Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

...is a Python constrictor of a movie by the masterful hand of Roman Polanski, with outstanding and nuanced performances everywhere. (This is the first film where I forgot all about Pierce Brosnan, about a third through, and started enjoying his presence within the film's context. Jim Belushi - where was he? Actors disappear into their roles. Olivia Williams is chillingly composed.)

With European sensibilities, The Ghost Writer starts easily, winds up very slowly, and delivers mood inspired high suspense seemingly from nowhere.

Plausibility?

Makes me smile about its implications concerning the realities of matrimonial bliss in a world as seen from the heights inhabited only by the international power elite.

I love movies from the seventies and this film is proof that art of that era smolders anew.

Recommended - it's POLANSKI!

Great work.
