I can also see the feminist undertone of this film. It's definitely one of my fave Polanski films.That Film Enthusiasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08525992441514322658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7821631260908917155.post-35483205964959139762015-06-08T11:17:58.126+08:002015-06-08T11:17:58.126+08:00Kinski's not a great actor. And she's not ...Kinski's not a great actor. And she's not remotely British. But she works the same way Anne Wiazemsky works in Bresson's Au Hasard Balthasar. <br /><br />The novel isn't "romantic." The movie is. Kinski's beauty gives the character a certain "nobility" (pun intended). She's not an English peasant girl. She's some otherwordly character who fell out of the sky. <br /><br />It's testament to Polanski's genius that (in spite of what he is in real life) he's made a feminist movie. He's also "appropriated" one of the greatest novel's in the English language and made it entirely his own. <br /><br />Seeing this film as a 15 year old was a trip. The ending at Stonehenge is by far the strongest moment. It's just off the charts.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07140968808062021289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7821631260908917155.post-91325258344267720902014-05-22T20:04:36.876+08:002014-05-22T20:04:36.876+08:00Why, yes.
