The Deep End (2001)
Country: US
Technical: Foto-Kem/Panavision 101m
Director: Scott McGehee, David Siegel
Cast: Tilda Swinton, Goran Visnjic, Jonathan Tucker
Synopsis:
Shocked from learning that her son is gay, a busy mother and wife of a husband at sea finds herself disposing of the corpse of his no-good lover whom she assumes died in a fight. She is then approached by blackmailers who want $50,000 for a videotape.
Review:
Taut, well acted remake of The Reckless Moment, making good use of its Lake Tahoe locations. The interplay of the domestic and everyday with the threatening figures from Reno reaches its apogee when the wife falls for the blackmailer, an unlikely event made brilliantly convincing by Swinton.
