: The Clearing

Unusually introspective film that’s more like a play. There are really only three characters, a man and his wife and the kidnapper. The woman tries to deal with the mystery of her husband’s disappearance and he and the kidnapper discuss the meaning of life. It’s a little slow and dull at times, and the ending’s not exactly surprising, but overall it’s a decent film with excellent performances. Unfortunately, it doesn’t break enough new ground to be a classic, but it’s interesting.
