| Description: | A rare book dealer seeks out the last two copies of a demon text draw him into the middle of conspiracy with supernatural overtones. | Comments: | As a fan of Polanski and having seen a quite a few of his previous work, I unfortunately was disappointed with this latest film..which I saw yesterday. Actually as he himself says, "My film is between Chinatown and Rosemarie's Baby", true but although all the means available have been used for in this film,technically speaking it is very well dome, but perhaps the plot is a big weak and many events are too foreseable.The dialogues at times seem stilted and the story line, as it shows through in the film is much too predictable. Too bad, for a thriller.I have not read The Club Dumas, by Perez -Reverte.... I will stick with Death and the Maiden, and Tess. |
