Review of The Constant Gardener (2005) by Bluezboy8 — 08 Sep 2005
Mesmerizing work from Meirelles! Fiennes turns in another great performance, as does the supporting cast, especially Huston and Nighy. This sophisticated "thriller" is layered with just the right amount of retrospect to effectively fulfill Tessa's life, but if I were directing, I would only decrease the frenetic handheld sequences by, maybe, half.
The tension is already palpable, and the "caffeinated" lenswork serves only to nauseate more than titilate.
