I watched the stylish intriguing modern film noir, The Disappearance of Alice Creed. It’s taut with a script with minimal dialogue. But that’s the beauty it gives the film edge and tension. There are only 3 actors in this film (the excellent Eddie Marsan who is so understated and underrated which is a real scandal as he deserves attention) that creates uneasy and volatile relationships along with twists and turns and double-crosses. Anyway, I really wanted to see this film when it was released in Spring of 2010 but it was only on a limited release in London, that annoyed me some what so as a consequence waited until the film came out on dvd. The setting, plot and superb acting creates a claustrophobic dynamic which further unnerves the viewer. Classic in the making and director J Blakeson is someone to watch out for.
This piece of music Cathy Davey’s Holy Moly is played through out the film. Wonderfully atmospheric.
