Review of The Beguiled (2017) by Ginak — 04 Jul 2017
This film is not for everyone. It is subtle and requires attention, but if you can give the film that, the experience is very rewarding. I guess you’d have to say it is a typical Sofia Coppola film such as Lost in Translation and The Bling Ring.
Another problem is the misleading trailer. What happens to the wounded soldier at the hands of Nicole Kidman is not as sensational as the trailer implies and has nothing directly to do with castration.
Within the immediate events of the film, it makes perfect sense, although what is going on underneath is another matter. The cast is wonderful, especially Colin Farrell, Kidman, and Kirsten Dunst. This is a great film, although I am not sure yet if it is a classic, but certainly Coppola deserved her Best Director award at Cannes.
