Opulence and European Chic

I loved this film, the opulence and wonderful European locations. A film that is truly atmospheric and very special. A cast of excellent actors, Depp, Langella and Olin to name just three, certainly not a mainstream film that was going to break any box office records but a good psychologically addictive film exploring the occult. If history, books and the darker side of human nature interest you then you will find this film fascinating. Depp plays the part of a very focused, self serving and amoral loner hired by the owner of a book said to be co written by the Devil himself. Depp is to trace the authenticity of the only two remaining books thought to possibly be copies, held in private book collections in France and Portugal. Well worth watching

not one boring moment

Never seen it and today was the day to finally watch this whodunit flick. Some say it's a gothic horror but for me it doesn't come close to a horror.But it wasn't that bad at all. Even clocking in over 2 hours it never had a dull or boring moment. If you are into a good thriller then you are at the correct place with this flick. Okay it' do has some supernatural elements but even that won't bother you as watching this.Pure entertaining, a good Roman Polanski flick.Gore 0/5 Nudity 0,5/5 Effects 2/5 Story 3/5 Comedy 0/5.
