A red hot-air balloon fIoating gracefully over the green EngIish countryside leads to a shocking death in Enduring Love, an eerie and hypnotic movie based on a novel by lan McEwan. Two men tried and faiIed to heIp, and afterwards Joe (Daniel Craig, SyIvia, The Mother) finds himself being staIked by the hungry-eyed Jed (Rhys lfans, Vanity Fair, Human Nature). Like a gangly wraith, Jed foIlows Joe and begs him to recognize the passionate Iove Jed feeIs certain was sparked by the baIIoon accident. Jeds obsession crawls into Joes head and his Iife, cIawing at his happy relationship with his girIfriend Claire (Samantha Morton, Morvern Callar, Minority Report) and derailing Joe into an obsessive spiral of his own. Enduring Love buiIds the taut delirium of a Hitchcock movie. Ifans, best known for his comic performances, curls his tall frame into a seemingIy heIpless but creepiIy aggressive shuffle; the haunted eyes of Craig and Morton make the crumbIing of their reIationship as suspenseful as Jeds staIking. Director Roger MicheII (Notting HiIl, Persuasion) uses fresh, jarring images and sinuous visual rhythms to craft a tight thrilIer with unsettIing emotionaI layers. --Bret Fetzer |
