Editorial Reviews

Russian release. Available audio tracks: original DD 2.0 ENGLISH and DD 2.0 RUSSIAN (voice-over). ATTENTION: This is a PAL/Region ALL DVD. PAL is European video standard which WILL NOT play on regular R1 DVD player (multisystem PAL/NTSC compatible DVD player required). Please, get familiar with all details about DVD video standards to avoid any misunderstandings. SYNOPSIS: For his second outing as a director, filmmaker Philip Ridley once again enlisted the talents of Viggo Mortensen, who starred in Ridley's debut, The Reflecting Skin, and co-stars here with Ashley Judd and Brendan Fraser. Fraser plays Darkley Noon, a disturbed young man who received a sheltered upbringing from his strict Christian parents. When the elder Noons pass on, Darkly wanders off aimlessly until he is picked up by a passing truck driver named Jude (Loren Dean). Jude leaves the physically worn Darkly with Callie (Judd) and Clay (Mortensen), a young married couple. As Callie cares for Darkly, he begins to develop romantic and sexual feelings for her, feelings that threaten to turn violent when Darkly is taunted by the love between Callie and Clay.

5.0 out of 5 stars Word of caution, August 2, 2005

This review is from: The Passion of Darkly Noon - PAL DVD (Russian release) (1995) (DVD)

A word of caution to those that have yet to buy this movie, there seem to be three releases out. American, Spanish and Russian. And all three have conficting run times. This one for example is only 96 mins, while the American release goes on for a whopping 146. The spanish is about 100. Why they differ is beyond me, and why they got cut is also hard to fathom.

Bottom line is check carefully before buying one of these editions, and if you buy an import make sure you're player can support PAL.
