Sooner or later, the time will come for all of us !, July 19, 2006
This review is from: Your Ticket Is No Longer Valid (VHS Tape)
Two succesful executives live the last movement of the symphony of their lives; that autumnal stage where the desires still exist and hardly be satisfied . To reach such social status, to be able to satisfy all the material desires of the most coveted woman in the world and nevertheless be unable to reach the sexual plenitude constitutes the dramatis personae: George Peppard and Richard Harris are those men who are at the eve of the unavoidable moment where you are a simple cartoon of yourself. The sensuality, the fight for power is no problem at all, but what happens when the man reaches an age in which is capable to arise the overall sensuality in a woman and in the meantime is incapable to extinguish that fire? Jeanne Moreau as always is superb in her little support role as an old friend of Harris, owner of a palace of desires and loyal executor of his last will.
From this dramatic premise Harris will do his best he can and will even lucubrate erotic fantasies, hiring a handsome Spanish young for a very awful and desperate contract to him. The shadow of death, hopeless, anguish and desperation will struggle even the most indifferent viewer in this hard to watch drama that may be result extremely unpleasant for squeamish. Mesmerizing, unmerciful and brutal drama that waits for all of us, hidden as an Army of invisible demons to remind us our time for love was over:
I still remember a brave statement of Mrs. Bette Davis: "To get old is just for brave ones. A
somber cult movie that will invite you to think and reflect about our ephemera human condition.
