Brilliant movie. Fantastic cinematic atmosphere and photography. Love the way the camera moves with the emotions of the story - changing angles in unexpected ways. Great Film Noir feel. Charloette Rampling is intense and powerful. She is such a fascinating character - do you like her or hate her? Love the dialogue. Ian Glen, Michael Gambon are superb too. The scene where she is running through the streets and her world of power and control is crumbling is good - the sound of her heels on the pavement. Also like the scene where she gives her big political speech - and then the wife of the guy she murdered says it was a good thing he died and it seems like everything has worked out for her after all. It hilights the way people can be so selfish - even to get away with murder if they can. I found the plot really clever how it all meshed together even the mistaken identity of the midnight caller. David Hare is brilliant. Love this, Plenty, Wetherby and The Reader in particular.
