Enduring Love directed by Roger Michell based on the Ian McEwan novel.
One review of Enduring love said “ Enduring Love is one of those outrageous stalker thrillers in which so much trouble could have been avoided if the characters had only thought to call the police.” So true, this movie reminded me a bit of the road runner. So frustrating, it drives you nuts. But it was a fabulous book and it is a great movie.“ Based on the acclaimed novel by Ian McEwan, ENDURING LOVE is a psychological suspense thriller about how fate shapes our relationships, how accidents can change our lives and how meaning is unravelled from sheer chaos” Daniel Craig is fantastic playing one of those university types who wears lots of cord, knits and wears glasses ( but underneath you know he is the guy who dated kate Moss) Samantha Morton is great as his sculptor girlfriend “who in the way of the world and tragic romances, mostly seems to love herself” and Rhys Ifan who obviously loves a balloon movie ( Danny Deckchair) is perfect. If you thought he was scary in Notting Hill when he opened the door in his Y fronts watch him become creeper and creepier in this movie. The New York times says”. Enduring Love” is a serious movie about love, principally its petty cruelties and monstrous disguises. Soft, tender love, the kind that wraps you in comfort and warmth, is almost nonexistent in this curious, lachrymose story. The film takes it as an article of faith that the only answer to pain isn’t a gentle hand, but yet more pain, which they apply with much the same dedication Laurence Olivier brought to dentistry in “Marathon Man.” (Ouch!) Things move fast enough so that it takes a while to grasp that this is essentially “Fatal Attraction” with posh accents and no boiled bunny. But that doesn’t make the film or the work of its very fine ensemble any less enjoyable” And please stay till after the credits there is another scene at the very end…
