Annoying characters is a snoozefest movie, so this didn't work for me despite the still strong directing by Roeg and very solid acting by Theresa Russel. That Art Garfunkel's acting career never took off is not something I'm regretful about, he just kind of is.

Russell is astonishingly good, but Garfunkel is a little weak. He's good in supporting roles, but I don't think he's enough of an actor to support a lead role. Harvey Keitel is ... let's say, miscast, for wan of a better term. It's an intermittently powerful film with an intensely dark, yet scarily appropriate denouement, that just pales for me in contrast to his previous films.

Roeg's films seem to never disappoint in their construction. Told through memories, the disjointed narrative is fittingly so as we all understand the often fractured nature of recollection. While Garfunkel may be the opposite of sexual desire (that hair!), he holds his own against the force that is Theresa Russell. The conclusion is sickeningly twisted, but most can likely identify what it is to be controlled or feel like you need to control to hang on to what you perceive as happiness.

Probably my favorite of Nicolas Roeg's movies. I'd also say it's the first time I really understood and appreciated what it is that he's doing, as far as technique is concerned, so maybe I just need to go and revisit the rest of his stuff. Having said that, it's definitely a flawed film. For one thing, I don't think there's a genuinely good performance in the entire movie. Roeg's discursive editing makes it easier to bear, at least.

NO. Contrary to other reviewers, I don't think Garfunkel is part of the problem here; he's actually quite a good fit for the role. The script, however, offers only self-serious nonsense, and Theresa Russell's acting falls apart whenever she opens her mouth.

Russell is so interesting. I feel like I know her, which is a pivotal way in which we're made to feel for her character in Roeg's intuitive, heartfelt kaleidoscope, which grows in emotional intensity and poignancy as it unfolds, jointed into a mosaic spiked with jagged details which ultimately turn the movie on its head. Sometimes you can't help but want what's bad for you. As for the traditional romantic themes, I'm with Billie Holiday. Same old story, but it's worth telling just once more.
