Review of Lotus Eaters (2011) by John_S — 08 Apr 2013
McGuinness uses very amazing allegories throughout her movie. The ambiguity between the pace of the Lotus Eaters (quiet slow) and its dramatic events makes this movie a powerful and provocative one. The shots are incredible, not to mention the musics. Lotus Eaters is not simply about the "glamorous world of young and beautiful jet-setters." McGuinness introduces, subtly, layers to her story that are very much into philosophy.
The allegory of the death of the horse and the car crash is a critical moment of tension that reflects the filmmaker's genius. Unfortunately, after this shot the movie ends...
