Product Description

Amazon.ca

Lorsqu’un jeune acteur s’essaie à la réalisation, il est souvent accueilli avec scepticisme. Le premier film de Todd Field, In the Bedroom (Sans issue), avec ses cinq nominations aux oscars en 2002, est un démenti plus qu’encourageant.

Quand Frank Fowler est assassiné par l’ex-mari de sa petite amie, jouée par une Marisa Tomei parfaite en biche affolée, le monde de ses parents (impeccables Sissy Spacek et Tom Wilkinson) s’écroule. Habitués à un cadre de vie paisible et aisé, ils ne peuvent se remettre de la perte du fils chéri. Mais après le choc, viendra le temps encore plus glacial de la vengeance.

Bien qu’il partage avec Nanni Moretti une pudeur refusant le voyeurisme, Todd Field emprunte pourtant un tout autre chemin. Là où le réalisateur de La Chambre du fils envisageait le deuil sous un angle très introspectif et intime, Field laisse s’exprimer l’amertume et la colère dans une réalisation à la fois intense et contemplative. In the Bedroom analyse, de façon hypnotique, la quasi-impossibilité de reprendre une vie normale après un tel bouleversement. De ce film troublant, on ressort encore plus convaincu que la perfection sans faille n’existe pas. --Helen Faradji

5.0 out of 5 stars Simple and Beautiful, Jun 1 2002

Josh D. (Indianapolis, Indiana United States) - See all my reviews

Today's Hollywood has produced movies that appear to be made behind a computer screen. Enough special effects. In a time when movies are made to earn millions of dollars based strictly on advertising, endorsements, or cool fx, In The Bedroom is a fantastic and refreshing movie with the emphasis on acting and dialogue rather than what can be done with a green screen. The script is incredible and the beauty of the movie lies in its simplicity and near perfect grasp on reality. This movie is true--made solely with diagetic sound (no musical score/only sound natural to the picture). Similar to the stage works of Kenneth Lonergan, this movie brilliantly develops every character and shows the haunting reality of a situation the characters themselves do not know how to handle. Beautifully done and very intellectually orchestrated. See it!

3.0 out of 5 stars Good plot, original,but very slow., May 23 2002

I liked the plot and the acting was excellent,but I was very dissapointed with this movie. It was too drawn out. I was expecting more, due to the great reviews,but I wasn't too impressed. All of the action was in the first half hour then it was about an hour of reactions just wacthing the parents ignore each other, a little action in the end, and it's over. I really didn't get what was so great about it.

5.0 out of 5 stars You either love it or hate it ., Jan 20 2003

This review is from: In the Bedroom (Sans issue) (DVD)

I loved it ... my girlfriend fell asleep . This is the 2 major reactions for this film . If you like slow but very deep story ; if you ever lost a loved one ; if you understand the harsh reality of a little detail , painfully striking you deep into your hart ; if you prefer exellent cinematography insted of digital graphics - this is your film .
Small East coast town , usual people , usual little problems ... and tragedy strikes . The only son is killed by the ex of his girlfriend . But legal sistem works at it best , and killer still on the street . Parenths of the dead boy se him everywhere in this little town . What would you do ?
The moments of this movie , which shocked me the most :
First - when father walked in the son's room ... camera slowly shows the close on the floor , short on the chear ...the pillow with a headprint still on it ... he touches it ... and I swear , I felt the pain .
Second - when father faced the killer on the street. He looks at him ... slowly lookes down... and lookes back at him with the same speed as he rises hand with a gun .
And last one - when father quietly walks back to the bedroom... we shocked by surprise - his wife is awake and waiting in the bad ... few quiet seconds ... Did you do it ? - we shocked by her question as much as he was .
PS: For some reason , this film reminded me " Ice Storm ". You really understand what you have , only when the tragedy strikes .

This film had almost no likeable characters, and, of the ones who were likeable: they were characters you feel so very sorry for. Read more
