Things We Lost in the Fire (2007)
Country: US/GB
Technical: col/2.35:1 118m
Director: Susanne Bier
Cast: Halle Berry, Benicio Del Toro, Alison Lohman, David Duchovny
Synopsis:
A bereaved Mum takes in her late husband's lifelong low-life friend and then proceeds alternately to have at him and attempt to get him off drugs.
Review:
This extraordinary hybrid of the unbearable grief film (Truly Madly Deeply) and the heroin addiction film scores high points for its acting and tasteful direction (though rather too many extreme close-ups of eyes for one movie). The bizarre changes in plot direction certainly keep one guessing.
