Review of Where the Truth Lies (1999) by Mikhail B — 01 Jul 2013
A rather intricate detective story about a girl reporter who tries to discover the truth about the lives and friendships between two show people who fall victims to blackmail. The reversed plot around a murder makes the psychological journey through the traps of the protagonist's character particularly pleasurable; each episode giving new details of the killing, but keeping the entire truth about the murder concealed almost until the last minute of the film.
The film is heavily erotic, too much for a good detective story. Also, it is somehow reminiscent of the Great Gatsby in the meaning, the protagonist comes clean from all the blackmail tagged by other characters and conceived by the observer.
