Review of Lemming (2005) by Gilles H — 03 Mar 2008
Clever. Clean. Dirty. Suspenseful. Bloody. A psychological nightmare the Hitchcock way. What's a lemming doing in the drain? Moll once more delivers a greatly underrated masterpiece that offers brilliant, underplayed acting.
Short in dialogue, rich in colours (and colour psychology), with a light, yet haunting soundtrack, it touches today's suburbian abyss and the theme of possession - in many ways. 2 Charlottes and both are truly outstanding, Gainsbourgh as the innocent, fragile young wife and Rampling as the frustrated, depressed elderly counterpart.
Quite a well-constructed thriller we have here. Evil. Evil. Even David Lynch would be proud of it. Silence can kill you. More of it!
