I just watched Ethan Fromme and I loved it...the symbolism alone
made it great for me.
To begin with, everyone was as frozen as the landscape. And as
the sexual tension built between Ethan and Matty, you could
almost hear glass break...which of course, it eventually did in
the form of the wifes treasured ruby red glass candy dish.
The scene where Ethan is on his knees before Matty and he buries
his face in her pink satin embroidery work is so sexy...makes one
want to learn needlework.
This movie may not thrill everyone but I felt it was very well
played and directed extremely well. A very literate screen
adaptation, to say the least. Edith Wharton would be proud.
Liam Neeson as Ethan, Joan Allen as Zenna, and Patricia Arquette
as Matty Silva....all are very, very good.
