Tryst

I saw this movie at a festival in Monteal and I can't wait till it comes out. It was by far the best film I've seen at a festival in a long time. Jon Ashmore had me on the edge of my seat with this spooky, erotic thriller. Cool cinematography, good acting and the lead actress is smokin'! It started out kind of slow, so I wasn't sure where it was going but once the plot turned, it got disturbing quick. I wish there were more movies that took the chances this one took. In its own quiet way it explores marital desperation in a way that can only be described as true. My only complaint is with its "Hollywood" action adventure scenes towards the end. They seemed a little out of place in such a thoughtful and thought provoking movie.

Kudos to whoever did the cover/poster. It really is enticing. It also could be considered false advertising. Considering this is not what you get when you watch the movie - no offense to the six packs and long legs depicted, but this is not in the movie.

That being said, there are exactly the amount of people that are involved in the movie as depicted on the cover. Two men and a cup (or is two cups? Sorry for the pun and if you don't get the joke don't worry). Anyway, if a relationship is broken (or almost broken), is there a way to fix it? And will an enclosed enviroment help that situation or worsen it? I guess you'll be able to tell early on where this is heading ... or staying.

Unless you want to walk away with an empty and depressing feeling, I wouldn't suggest that you torture yourself.
