Review of Basil (1998) by T G — 30 Dec 2006
I was actually surprised how much I liked this movie. It takes place in history - and looks beautifully like one. The people, clothes, speech, manners, surroundings... It is all well done and detailed.
The plot itself is rather clever, at least on a first watch (like a snake suffocating on its own tail, as was stated in the movie), and Jared's role as "Basil" is not something pretty to watch - which makes the movie all the more human.
Almost so human it is disgusting.
