The Crossing (2004)
7/10
Menage à trois
23 October 2021
First a realistic depiction of a man 's tragedy after a car crash : in a wheelchair for life , the events just after the hospital are passed over : the discovery of his new condition by the disabled (and impotent) husband ,the physical therapy ,the wife walking out on him and trying to start over with another one ,all the clichés of this kind of story are smartly eschewed .

It turns thriller in its second part ; sexual desire is the main concern of the movie, with the reappearance of a manly father supposedly working to make the house convenient for a handicapped man : under a genial façade , this man is a monster , an ogre who "ate " his son as a boy and now imposes his company (and a menage à trois) on the couple ;as far as sex is concerned, the movie treads a tenous line between simulation and reality .

The ending may be crazy but at least it's original and makes "Andraskorset" a special case in a hackneyed genre.
