Review of Maelström (2000) by Visitorq S — 22 Jan 2011
A dark fairytale of sorts about a young upper-class woman whose life is in a downward spiral. For starters she is dealing with the guilt of having an abortion, her brother is cutting her out of the family business and one night she leaves a party and hits an old man with her car.
The films structure is unconventional, in that the film kinda jumps around juxtaposing different scenes. For the most part it does work, and fits definitely fits the tone of the film. The visual design of this film is really stunning.
The lighting is just gorgeous, though if you aren't a fan of unnatural lighting you won't like it. Its a really odd film, that doesn't give anything to the viewer easily. Its strange and not for everyone but by the end I was convinced.
