the Constant Gardener
The Constant Gardener
I think it's the best movie I've watched in a while. The art direction is good, the story is absorbing, the characters well developed and above all, the actors sublime!
The movie has a good does of everything inside but where it excels is its pacing, and the whole script does not disappoint. The start begans a little slow, but apart from that, there's is little one can find fault with.
The movie is so real and so "in your face" that it is highly disturbing. It present you with the cruel reality and garnishes it with a heavy dose of irony.
Love, trust, suffering, poverty, bureaucracy, corruption, power play, disappointment, conspiracy. Merely a handful of the devices and twists found in the story.
