Allow me to recommend 'Tell no one', a recent French thriller, adapted from a best selling American novel of the same name by Harlan Coben.
Here's my review.
http://itwofs.com/milliblog/2007/06/...illaume-canet/
Incidentally, the film's plot could make for a great Tamil/ Hindi thriller!
1) One Hour Photo 2) The Truman Show 3) Mystic River 4) Viva Zapata (with Marlon Brando) (all within two weeks...pretty good by my standards :P)
1) That someone could easily do what Robin Williams does as an obsessive photo collector is what makes this movie so creepy. But that he keeps pushing against the limits at times really gives you an unsettling shock, especially his odd dream that seems to stir him into action....yet we are not left without reason/excuses for odd actions...
2) The Truman Show is a nice tame portrayal of a man who is "born" a moviestar, it is inspirational as well as mellow, Ed Harris as an impassioned director seems to have been put aside his power of portrayal that is seen in other movies...it is quite refreshing to see Jim Carrey at times bittersweet and serious character. Sometimes this transition doesn't exactly work (my half love for Adam Sandler's forays into seriousnesss such as "punch drunk love" and "reign over me"
3) An award winning cast which I would expect nothing less from...though I felt the final reason to the events was lacking yet (grudgingly possible). Tim Robbins was superb as the damaged yet honest man...sean penn's wife played by Laura Linney offers her chills with her miniscule yet pressingly presuasive justification...proving herself to be just as incrimated in Penn's actions as he is. The only confustion at the beginnging for me was the child that was supposed to by Kevin Bacon looked more like Sean Penn, while Penn's little version looked nothing like his older self. I liked how Bacon instead of being coerced into pointing fingers at his one time friends stands his ground, even Laurence Fishburne should be commended for his starkily pithy lines...not ever letting Bacon think he could play loyalties...though that is what happens anyway.
4) Viva Zapata ( I usually stay away from political dramas but Brando made me stay to watch) I liked how events became cyclical even without me noticing, there is no long lived glory nor is their idealism, the heroism of Zapata is very human and unwillingly upheld...
Synopsis: In 1909, Emiliano Zapata (Marlon Brando), a well-born but penniless Mexican Indian from a remote province, Morelos, comes to Mexico City to complain that their arable land has been enclosed, leaving them only in the barren hills. His expressed dissatisfaction with the response of the President Diaz (Fay Roope) puts him in danger, and when he rashly rescues a prisoner from the local militia he becomes an outlaw. Urged on by a strolling intellectual, Fernando (Joseph Wiseman), he supports the exiled Don Francisco Madero (Harold Gordon) against Diaz, and becomes the leader of his forces in the South as Pancho Villa (Alan Reed) is in the North. Diaz flees, and Madero takes his place; but he is a puppet president, in the hands of the leader of the army, Huetra (Frank Silvera), who has him assassinated when he tries to express solidarity for the men who fought for him. Zapata and Villa return to arms, and, successful in victory, seek to find a leader for the country. Unwillingly, Zapata takes the job, but, a while later, he responds to some petitioners from his own village with no more reassurance than had Diaz years before.....
