Dot the I (2003)
What a terrific movie!
(Minor Spoilers ahead)
'Dot the I' is one of the best movies I've seen in a long time. It has everything needed to become a cult classic: It's funny, thrilling, sexy and very original. But above all, the ending is just amazing. The best ending I've seen since '6th sense'. The cast is superb. Natalia Verbeke makes a wonderful performance as Carmen, a passionate, funny and smart woman engaged to Barnaby, an english man played by an amazing James D'Arcy. Everything changes when during her bachelorette party Carmen kisses an unknown guy, correctly played by Gael García Bernal. That kiss will make Carmen wonder who she really loves.
That's the main plot for the first hour of film. What happens next, I will not say, you will have to watch the film first. I will just say that the last half hour is just thrilling and exciting. The plot twists will make you jump from your seat. Matthew Parkhill does a fantastic job as both director and writer.
Don't miss Dot the I, you will spend hour and a half having a great time. ***** out of *****
Presence of Mind (1999)
not 'the innocents' but a good one
This movie is a good adaptation of the novel by henry james 'turn of the screw', thought it is not as scary and intense as the best adaptation of this novel 'the innocents'. First of all, it is quite surprising that this film is the first work of the director antoni aloy, and he managed to cast lauren bacall, harvey keitel and sadie frost, who all develope a correct performance. but ironically all these great actors can't fight with the kids, who act in a perfect way. the direction is quite correct and the cinematography and music are great. unfortunately due to economic problems this film hasn't been released in almost any country, just in spain in a few screens and it hasn't get the recognition it deserves.
