Top of the Lake (2013)
Worth watching for top villain
Come for the chilling performance from Scottish actor Peter Mullan, who is scary as hell, but has some fascinating vulnerabilities. Overall, real nice pacing with this mini-series. It unravels at a pensive pace, with just enough realistic twists to keep it believable. All the action has a a slowed- down feel. Almost dream-like. This series is very much about empowering women, and how men are perverted animals, but sadly, you only need to read the news to see that claim isn't much of a stretch. Hollywood should take note of Mullan and not pass up the chance to cast this guy in another villain role. There's nothing more terrifying than a sociopath Scot who whips himself in penance for some deep Oedipal shame. Give this series a chance, but know that it's slow and methodical. It's an uncomfortable ride with evil.
Eyes Wide Shut (1999)
ONE THING...
Incredible ability, Kubrick has, to to have developed certain films that have so many doors available, so much room for interpretation. Eyes wide shut could be the most ridiculous film ever by Kubrick or the most shockingly real and exposing of certain elitist behaviour, certain elitist power over people.
