sleuth

Story:
Milo Tindle (Jude Law) is an Actor who visits the extremely rich and famous author (speciality: crime-books) Andrew Wyke (Michael Caine) in his house in order to ask him to divorce his wife Maggie who is in love with Tindle now.
And that’s all I can tell you at this point, really.

Style:
The movie solely takes place in Wyke’s house, which is furnished in a very extravagant and unusual way, and there are no actors except for Law and Caine. From the very beginning, the movie is pure art – every word that is spoken, every gesture the actors make, every detail of the house the movie plays in, every tiny bit of music or sound … and right from the start, the viewer has to be extremely vigilant in order to understand the relation between Tindle and Wyke, and the changes in that relation; pay attention, be on guard, it’s not the proper movie when you’re tired and just want to “watch” something.
Incredibly well acting, an awesome composition, a great movie – very much to recommend.

Rating:
1- (I didn’t like the last 5 minutes)
