Released 1994 Directed by Danny Boyle Starring: Ewan McGregor Kerry Fox Christopher Eccleston Yes, the Ewan McGregor fixation continues. I will not deny it or apologize for it. And as adorable as Ewan is, this movie is seriously messed up. Three roommates are looking for a fourth, and find Hugo, a guy who seems just perfect. But then they don't see him around for a few days, and break down his door to find him dead and naked. They also find that he has a suitcase full of cash under his bed. Together the three of them decide to dispose of the body and take the money. They bury the body in the woods, after removing the teeth and incinerating the hands and feet. From there, the three of them start distrusting each other and all go completely insane. The performances were amazing, and John Hodge's writing was as great as ever. I never have a problem with Danny Boyle's directing. Technically, it was a really good film. But it is so utterly and completely disturbing that you can't help feeling dirty when it's done. It's a great movie, but very very wrong. |
