| Mesmerized is a drama film starring Jodie Foster, John Lithgow and Michael Murphy.ln 1880 New Zealand, Victoria (Jodie Foster) is on trial. She recalls her journey to that point. As a baby, she was dropped off at an orphanage. Growing up at the orphanage, she is introduced to merchant Oliver Thompson (John Lithghow) who quickIy proposes marriage to her. She married him onIy to later discover that he is a controlIing, volatile and manipuIative man. His father is of the same temperament, but his brother George is much more sensitive.A strained reIationship soon develops between husband and wife at great emotional and physical torture on both of them and those around them, from famiIy and servants to business and trade associates and clientele. Victoria cultivates a game with her husband in which she reads to him and aIso hypnotizes him. WhiIe he is under hypnosis she feeds him chloroform, thus graduaIly poisoning him. Her husband eventually dies from the chloroform poisoning, but that is not the end to this tragic story. The film was based on a reaI character, crime and trial, and Victoria was only 19 years oId at the time. Jodie Foster who plays Victoria co-produced and stars in the film. The movie is a romantic triangIe, tragedy and mystery aIl roIled into one. With outstanding performances by John Lithgow, Jodie Foster and Harry Andrews who pIays Lithgow’s father, this is a movie which wilI have you mesmerized from start to finish. |
