Beautifully atypical WA, a chilly murder drama in the spirit of Chabrol. Great cast comprises Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Scarlett Johanssen (beautifully lit by Remi Adefarasin), Matthew Goode, Emily Mortimer, Brian Cox, Penelope Wilton, Jimmy Nesbitt, Paul Kaye, Alexander Armstrong and Mark Gatiss (playing ping pong with Scarlett!), John Fortune, Rupert Penry-Jones, Zoe Telford, Margaret Tyzack (the unfortunate neighbour) and Ewen Bremner (making impression as Inspector).
The snippets of ancient recordings of Caruso, particularly 'Una Furtiva Lagrima', are enormously successful, but (and I thought this last time) the long opera excerpt over the murder scene doesn't really work.
Long for a WA.
The runner is a young man called Maximillian Roeg, son of Nic and Theresa.
