 Enduring Love (DVD)
 Enduring Love (DVD) ... released 11 April, 2005 at Pathe Distribution / Features of the DVD: PAL, Widescreen / A red hot-air balloon floating gracefully over the green English countryside leads to a shocking death in Enduring Love, an eerie and hypnotic movie based on a novel by Ian McEwan. Two men tried and failed to help, and afterwards Joe (Daniel Craig, Sylvia, The Mother) finds himself being stalked by the hungry-eyed Jed (Rhys Ifans, Vanity Fair, Human Nature). Like a gangly wraith, Jed follows Joe and begs him to recognize the passionate love Jed feels certain was sparked by the balloon accident. Jed's obsession crawls into Joe's head and his life, clawing at his happy relationship with his girlfriend Claire (Samantha Morton, Morvern Callar, Minority Report) and derailing Joe into an obsessive spiral of his own. Enduring Love builds the taut delirium of a Hitchcock movie. Ifans, best known for his comic performances, curls his tall frame into a seemingly helpless but creepily aggressive shuffle; the haunted eyes of Craig and Morton make the crumbling of their relationship as suspenseful as Jed's stalking. Director Roger Michell (Notting Hill, Persuasion) uses fresh, jarring images and sinuous visual rhythms to craft a tight thriller with unsettling emotional layers. --Bret FetzerNewest Review: ... how love affects us all in different ways, even if it the impact is somewhat lessened by an inevitable excursion into the ... more ... territory of what happens when love turns bad.
The film definitely takes a downward interest curve. The picture's opening scenes are stunning, a strikingly beautiful palette comprised of the British countryside's natural beauty, marred by a shocking and bloody accident. It's one of those contrasting moments that is so striking, it properly knocks the audience for six and prevents them ever really getting to grips with the rest of the narrative. Perhaps this is why the rest of it fails to live up to expectations, or perh...more |

A review of just the film, Enduring Love was produced in 2004. You can easily find the region 2 DVD online for no more than a fiver. Retreating to the countryside for some romantic isolation, a couple (Joe and Claire) is picnicking in a secluded field when their peace is shattered by an unexpected arrival. What appears to be something of a mishap turns into a terrible tragedy and for some time afterwards Joe struggles to come to terms with the impact of it all. With little sympathy or interest from his girlfriend, Joe finds himself the subject of unwanted attention from a man named Jed, who was one of the witnesses to the accident in the countryside.

Joe (Daniel Craig) is having a picnic with his girlfriend Claire (Samantha Morton) in the English countryside when a hot air balloon appears in the field behind them. There is a young boy trapped in the basket and his grandfather is trying unsuccessfully to help him. Three other bystanders see the balloon in trouble and run to help, grabbing the ropes to try and pull it back down onto the ground. Joe runs to the boy's aid and soon the four would-be rescuers are air borne, still desperately holding onto the balloon until they have to let go in fear of being taken to their death. One man - a doctor - holds on. His body is later found in a field. Joe ... Read the complete review
