year I had to undo the damage of two years ago, when I went to see A History Of Violence in the lounge and waited out the stupid on DVD . Plus I did not see a movie at the cinema for a month and a half (except for Nightmare Before Christmas, but also does not hurt every now and then a novelty), it was time to remedy and to do great. What better Cronenberg's new film, praised by critics as the long-awaited formal and informal.
Anna (Naomi Watts) is a midwife of Trafalgar Hospital London and when a 14 year old Russian-born dies before his eyes, giving birth to a girl, trying to translate the diary of the girl at least to locate relatives. The book, however, turns out to be a Pandora's box riskier than expected, catapulting the young doctor in the ruthless world of Russian Mafia, in particular with the boss Semyon (Armin Mueller-Stahl) and the driver Nikolai (Viggo Mortensen). After
A History Of Violence David Cronenberg directed a second time a huge Viggo Mortensen in a movie to remember and revise, where style dry and cool Canadian film is a tearful eye on the inevitable violence of this world. Immigration, organized crime, racism, abortion are just some of the issues addressed by Cronenberg, but it directs the target with particular attention to the issue of identity and, as noted above, and violence. The characters are immersed in a world without names, in which a person's story is told by his tattoos and its origins.
There is much more to say about this film (and in fact nothing to prevent a review of this post), but it's worth, I'm not good enough with the keyboard. The solution therefore is the most obvious: go see it.
