A lot of the movies that I have seen lately (and I am on quite a kick of movie-seeing) reveal how desperation, confusion, and helplessness will drive characters to commit otherwise incomprehensible behaviours.
This weekend, I saw this theme play out in Notes on a Scandal. What a wonderfully twisted thriller. Though it has none of the tricks of the traditional suspense-thriller, the movie had me guessing all the way throughout how the characters would resolve their seemingly desperate situations. Judi Dench is frightening; Cate Blanchett is gorgeous and full of emotion. The movie has a great British tone. The soundtrack is hypnotizing, a trademark of the compositions from Philip Glass.
