a very good film, with a beautiful very clever N. Kidman

Rating: 10/10 (18 April 2002)

I went to see this movie without knowing anything about it. I was soon fascinated by the atmosphere of this movie, a dark, gothic one, that reminded me the great movies of 50 years ago. N. Kidman (I hadn't still seen her as actress in a movie and I was doubtful about her real cleverness)is simply beautiful, she reminds me Grace Kelly in Hitchcock's, and very very clever, perfect in her part. The movie is very well made, good photography, peculiar care, dark serious atmosphere, original and surprising plot. I gave the vote 9 : it was really a fine surprise!
