A Night to Regret (2018)
Internet playfullness turns dark, revealing false friends
A relatively modern story blossoms further, aided by expert flourishes of art direction, cinematography and sumptuous music giving a bit of classic Hollywood production gloss.
Kevin McNamara capitalizes on this opportunity to play Jake Peters and delivers quite a large presence, turning out a disgusting villan, though we don't know how he got that way.
Mollee Gray plays student Chelsea and carries the movie like the pro she is, though she's 27 and appears to be playing a younger more naive character at times and not totally inhabiting the role. Mollee's ready to branch out.
Seasoned Marguerite Moreau plays the mom and is at times in her free-wheeling element but in other scenes feels confined to a persona she wasn't prepared for.
An international production flavor makes this an inviting watch.
In a Moment of Passion (1993)
vision in imagery and emotional closeups like the silents
I'm still digesting the production's presentation. So much is non-verbal storytelling in this pic! I have to say, combined with the cinematographer's imagery, this movie deserves a bit of special attention. That almost constant overcast reinforces the naturally European feel of the show. Add to that the Germanic/Austrian/(Russian?) characters, locations and costumes...wait a minute...is this Poland?!? Honestly, it's the energy of the lead male, essentially psychotic in his detachment who outlines the intention of the movie! I think it's worthy to investigate and open a door for filmmaker Zbignew Kaminski...no one else I can think of at the moment is attempting the European romantic thriller type of pic.
