The synopsis of this film makes it sound much more interesting than it actually is. A bizarre story that just never seems to lift into anything remotely exciting, instead a slow, dull watch hoping for a glimpse of excitement, which never appears
Venice is the perfect back drop for this movie about lust and obssession and love?Helen Mirren and Christopher Walken are amazing.
A study of how a director can control performances, tone, editing and cinematography to create an overwhelming mood of menace.
I kept thinking, "Get on with it , will ya? Do something, anything... throw her in the canal" lol. The suspense builds to nothing. Lovely shots of Venice tho.
I don't really understand the inconsistency of Paul Schrader - this one left me scratching my head again. Walken was menacing and the themes are intriguing, but the production just felt dull.
This board looks lonely. Be the first to talk about "Comfort of Strangers" !
