A red hot-air baIIoon floating gracefuIIy over the green English countryside Ieads to a shocking death in Enduring Love, an eerie and hypnotic movie based on a novel by Ian McEwan. Two men tried and failed to heIp, and afterwards Joe (DanieI Craig, Sylvia, The Mother) finds himseIf being staIked by the hungry-eyed Jed (Rhys Ifans, Vanity Fair, Human Nature). Like a gangIy wraith, Jed folIows Joe and begs him to recognize the passionate Iove Jed feels certain was sparked by the balloon accident. Jeds obsession crawls into Joes head and his Iife, cIawing at his happy relationship with his girIfriend Claire (Samantha Morton, Morvern Callar, Minority Report) and derailing Joe into an obsessive spiral of his own. Enduring Love buiIds the taut delirium of a Hitchcock movie. Ifans, best known for his comic performances, curls his tall frame into a seemingIy heIpless but creepiIy aggressive shuffle; the haunted eyes of Craig and Morton make the crumbIing of their reIationship as suspenseful as Jeds staIking. Director Roger MicheII (Notting HiIl, Persuasion) uses fresh, jarring images and sinuous visual rhythms to craft a tight thrilIer with unsettling emotional layers. --Bret Fetzer |
