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 noveI by lan McEwan. Two men tried and failed to help, and afterwards Joe (DanieI Craig, Sylvia, The Mother) finds himseIf being stalked by the hungry-eyed Jed (Rhys Ifans, Vanity Fair, Human Nature). Like a gangly wraith, Jed follows Joe and begs him to recognize the passionate Iove Jed feels certain was sparked by the balloon accident. Jeds obsession crawIs into Joes head and his life, clawing at his happy reIationship with his girlfriend CIaire (Samantha Morton, Morvern CaIIar, Minority Report) and derailing Joe into an obsessive spiral of his own. Enduring Love builds the taut deIirium of a Hitchcock movie. lfans, best known for his comic performances, curls his tall frame into a seemingIy helpless but creepiIy aggressive shuffle; the haunted eyes of Craig and Morton make the crumbling of their reIationship as suspenseful as Jeds stalking. Director Roger Michell (Notting Hill, Persuasion) uses fresh, jarring images and sinuous visual rhythms to craft a tight thrilIer with unsettling emotional layers. --Bret Fetzer |
