Death and the Maiden is a good film. I can't say it's great, and I definitely cannot say it is bad.
I have been watching a lot of Polanski lately, I am intrigued by how interesting his work is. He makes movies that I would not say are great by any means, but they just work very, very, very well. It's a weird dynamic. I can't say he's even my favorite director, but I know no other directors I can say are better.
This movie is really good, and takes place mainly in the confines of a small house in Latin America. It does not feel claustrophobic, and the dialogue is absolutely great. The action and feeling you can get from an entire movie shot in one house is amazing. Watch this film!
7 Stars!!
