No one seems to remember seeing Froy. While this idea is potentially eerie, we see many of the characters admitting to one another that they'd seen the woman but wish to avoid trouble and so remain silent, thus voiding any possible tension over Iris's sanity. This is an unfortunate choice that has been remedied in remakes such as the failed Jodi Foster vehicle "Flight Plan" or Hitchcock's own <a href="http://www.hulu.com/watch/270/alfred-hitchcock-presents-into-thin-air">"Into Thin Air"</a> . While I recently enjoyed <a href="http://ctache.blogspot.com/2008/07/essential-films-2-murderers-3.html">"The 39 Steps"</a> and <a href="http://ctache.blogspot.com/search/label/Shadow%20of%20a%20Doubt">"Shadow Of A Doubt"</a>, this film had little to recommend itself. Other features include silly plotting, an abundance of medium range head-and-shoulders shots and a hackneyed ending. I did enjoy the model towns and watching the scenery pass by through the train windows.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>Corey Tachéhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15290501182747632720noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4492466554772605429.post-59646922697073435872008-11-19T02:07:00.000-08:002008-11-19T02:30:29.942-08:00Hands in "The Forsaken Land"<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Vimukthi Jayasundara, 2006</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BJ4HxBGz2IM/SSPmzn4fi9I/AAAAAAAAAnU/N1jIfR9M3FQ/s1600-h/The+Forsaken+Land+2"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 224px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BJ4HxBGz2IM/SSPmzn4fi9I/AAAAAAAAAnU/N1jIfR9M3FQ/s400/The+Forsaken+Land+2" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5270309763507260370" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BJ4HxBGz2IM/SSPmwDFPi8I/AAAAAAAAAnM/Eqw8GI2bS04/s1600-h/The+Forsaken+Land+3"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 224px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BJ4HxBGz2IM/SSPmwDFPi8I/AAAAAAAAAnM/Eqw8GI2bS04/s400/The+Forsaken+Land+3" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5270309702089018306" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BJ4HxBGz2IM/SSPmsDWdjwI/AAAAAAAAAnE/tuHTI6c3ZBg/s1600-h/The+Forsaken+Land+19"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 222px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BJ4HxBGz2IM/SSPmsDWdjwI/AAAAAAAAAnE/tuHTI6c3ZBg/s400/The+Forsaken+Land+19" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5270309633441763074" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BJ4HxBGz2IM/SSPmidr5GpI/AAAAAAAAAm8/GupioM4MjK0/s1600-h/The+Forsaken+Land+21"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 223px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BJ4HxBGz2IM/SSPmidr5GpI/AAAAAAAAAm8/GupioM4MjK0/s400/The+Forsaken+Land+21" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5270309468712278674" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BJ4HxBGz2IM/SSPmeHK1wKI/AAAAAAAAAm0/CRPf-1lQJaY/s1600-h/The+Forsaken+Land+25"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 223px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BJ4HxBGz2IM/SSPmeHK1wKI/AAAAAAAAAm0/CRPf-1lQJaY/s400/The+Forsaken+Land+25" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5270309393948590242" /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BJ4HxBGz2IM/SSPmOumbrtI/AAAAAAAAAmk/vnfAPim-Wuc/s1600-h/The+Forsaken+Land+32"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 223px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BJ4HxBGz2IM/SSPmOumbrtI/AAAAAAAAAmk/vnfAPim-Wuc/s400/The+Forsaken+Land+32" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5270309129655398098" /></a><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>Corey Tachéhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15290501182747632720noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4492466554772605429.post-72296536390062075602008-11-14T02:04:00.000-08:002008-11-14T02:20:56.244-08:00An Old Man Obliterated By The Wind<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">24 Consecutive Frames From F.W.
