As already said, it reminds me too the Trial (Le Procès) made in 1962 by the great Orson Welles.
Same quality... questioning men's mind and the price some have to pay for Freedom.
A perfect and must see "Huis-clos"
Almost more riveting while so small action, on some ways, but so full of intensity.
A comment on IMDb about this movie brought me up to see if there was any trailer...
The movie itself was on YT ! a top notch one !
And Madeleine Stowe is absolutely beautiful and shows a first-rate playing
Alan Rickman, wow, what an actor !
My only complaint was that to cut a movie like this (I mean on YT) is also a bit sadistic...
Well, we could say it follows the movie's register.
Nevertheless, I was riveted to my sofa :-)
So, really fantastic is also the job that Radha Bharadwaj did with her movie.
And say that I never heard anything anywhere nor by anyone about this director : a shame !
After some searches it appears she's a real rarity :
"Radha Bharadwaj was born in India and moved to the United States in her late teens to study film. She is a rarity in Hollywood, being an Asian American female director who creates English language features that are not narrow, ethnic tales but dark tales of suspense and intrigue that are universal in theme and scope." (This last paragraph is taken from closetland.com/bio, as for... in the Fair Use purpose.)
Well, back to the movie :
So if you are for Freedom, I mean any form of it (if there are different forms of it !), and you can stand a powerful claustrophobic situation in a movie, I just can say : watch this masterpiece !
Me, fortunately I could find it slightly later in "one piece" on DVD format, so it joined my home video library, for my great pleasure :-)
Remember : Amazing performances, brilliant !
If you agree/disagree with this comment, I'll be glad if you'll rate it, wishing more Yes, just because this movie speaks to my heart about Liberty AND Freedom... I know it seems a wrong double use meaning, but may be you'll understand what I trying to point out :-)
