Review of M. Butterfly (1993) by Manal S — 01 Jan 2012
Failed my high expectations, but wasn't a complete failure. The movie is based on a real, and quite shocking, story that strongly illustrates the clash and mutual antagonism between the East and the West.
However rich and prospect-filled the story might seem, Cronenberg has flunked in making it convincing and powerful enough to me. One of the things that saved the day is Jeremy Irons' top-notch, impeccable performance, and John Lone's almost equally beautiful "impersonation".
