The Comfort of Strangers
<PERSON> is great, the film not so much. <PERSON>’s “Italian but born and raised in London and married to a Canadian” accent feels actually fairly realistic to me! He keeps going back and forth between British vowels and pronounced Rs and he has just the right amount of Italian gesturing - I was honestly expecting the worst and I am in fact impressed! I found the couple dynamic between <PERSON> and <PERSON> much more interesting than whatever the hell <PERSON> and <PERSON> were up to; there’s a real sense of uncertainty, hope, tenderness and cruelty between the two tourists that I’m guessing may be better explored in the novel this is based on. This is what they call a “Film for Adults.” 378
