Review of The Man from Elysian Fields (2001) by Marko S — 23 Dec 2010

A struggling author reluctantly accepts work as an escort to married women. One of his clients is the wife of an extremely successful, but very ill, novelist and he becomes very involved with them both, as he loses hold of his own marriage.

There is lots to think about here; what were the various characters' motivations; was it all inevitable? I didn't see the twists in the story (although there are clues) and found that one particular storyline which had seemed unlikely made perfect sense when it finished.

It's a pity about the ending, but it doesn't spoil an otherwise good film.
