5.0 out of 5 stars A Brilliant Work, October 12, 2009

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Morlang (DVD)

Dark and subtly woven, this artistic portrayal of an actual event deserves every accolade it's received, plus some. Rich and lush in its imagery, short in dialogue yet long in emotion, this film explores the vast landscape of aging and middle-aged love in all their permutations. Betrayal begets heartbreak and supressed fury as both artist and muse struggle through the treacherous hills and valleys of reconciliation. Its masterful conclusion leaves viewers grappling with the ultimate dilemma of "what would I have done?"

4.0 out of 5 stars Confusing backflashes; but worth the viewing, November 25, 2011

This review is from: Morlang (DVD)

Morlang, a Netherlands 2002 Film, in the English language, is based upon a true story of an aging successful artist whose wife Ellen, confesses to an affair. Julius Morlang, the artist, soon has an affair with a younger woman. Morlang is also pressured in the art gallery world by his agent for masterpiece work. Ellen his wife, feeling she is doomed, refuses treatment, and they decided to make a death pact.

This is not one of your typical "backflash" movies; it is more complex than that. The director has created a confusing story with numerous backflashes interspersed with real time. If you have trouble figuring out what is going on, it make take a second viewing.

Actor Paul Freeman, who plays Julius Morlang does an excellent job of portraying a man in distress, complete with psychological torment including haunted from the past. The musical soundtrack fills the moods and the landscaping is beautiful. The film is widescreen and narrow to the viewing screen. Aside from the scenery and revealing closeups.

Don't give up on this film if confused, it is a compelling story, with a shocking twist, and done quite well. .....Rizzo

I avoided this due to movie description and reviews. However, it is just plain intriguing. I love the lead actor and was very surprised at the ending. Glad I took the time to watch the movie. Recommend.
