The Best Offer

A film rich in symbolism and meaning, with a superb performance by Geoffrey Rush. Better than average cinematography and a twist that keeps you thinking and considering the message long after the film has ended. (Tell me the statute Rush hides behind isn't a brilliant allegory for the entire film! Brilliant!) The music gets high marks as well. Highly recommended -- even if you're only looking for a good caper movie.

The Loss of Autonomy...

... as a result of love and desire, the urge to acquire what you don't yet have. A superb demonstration of the power of film to manipulate, to ratchet up, build pressure, and time its release to perfection.
