Comfort of Strangers (DVD + Blu-Ray)

Beschrijving
Mary( Natasha Richardson) en Colin ( Rupert Everett) vielen voor het eerst in elkaars armen tijdens een romantitische valantie in Venetie. Vier jaar later zijn ze terug in Venetie om hun romance nieuw leven in te blazen om de toekomst van hun relatie vorm te geven. Maar wie is toch die Engels, sprekende Venetiaan ( Christopher Walker) die hen voortdurend volgt, gadeslaat en fotografeert? Voor Mary en Colin echt in de gaten hebben wat er gebeurt, geraken ze in een bizare wereld van seks, voyeunsme, bedrog en passie, vol zeer charmante maar evenzo gevaarlijke vreemdelingen.

Mary (Natasha Richardson) and Colin (Rupert Everett, The Happy Prince) attempt to reinvigorate their flagging relationship with a romantic trip to Venice. Soon, though, they find themselves drawn into a complex web of deceit, passion, perversion and sexual intrigue, subtly spun by mysterious Robert (Christopher Walken) who resides nearby in palatial splendour with his wife Caroline (Helen Mirren).
Adapted from Ian McEwan's haunting novel by famed playwright Harold Pinter, The Comfort of Strangers is chillingly directed by Paul Schrader (First Reformed), and will lead you on a shadowy, dreamlike journey towards the darkest realms of human experience.
