an online friend of (+/-) 3+ years or so, ken, from l.a. (as in lebuh ampang? hehee... nah!) recommended me to watch "conversations with other women". it seems that the meetup with rizal recently really reminds him of that movie... hah! unfortunately too bad that its an explicit movies i do not think it can be released here. furthermore its actually of a 2005' production, and it has been released in cinemas in november 2006 anyway hmm... unless if ken can find a way to send me a copy of the dvd ;)
conversations with other women
synopsis
an encounter between two people with a shared past and conflicting futures is played out on a split-image screen in this offbeat drama. an unnamed man (aaron eckhart) and woman (helena bonham carter) are enjoying drinks and cigarettes in a hotel room after attending the wedding of a mutual friend. at first, the two seem to be playing a flirtatious game, as he cheerfully but confidently advances toward her, and she seems at once attracted and put off by his bravado. their pas de deux is shot and edited in split screen, with his image appearing in one half of the divided frame and hers appearing in the other. as time wears on, the man and woman begin crossing their appointed boundaries, and in some sequences one half of the frame represents the present while the other shows us events in the past. we learn that the man and woman had a tempestuous affair when they were in their late teens, and both are now committed to other people i.e. she has a husband, while he has a steady girl. how will the experiences of their past affect their present, and are they willing to betray their lovers for an evening's pleasure? 'conversations with other women' was the first feature film from director hans canosa. ~ mark deming, all movie guide
