I have seen this film twice and although very dark I found it strangely absorbing. I would rate it 7/10. The couple in the film are first introduced in an earlier Berman film Scenes from a Marriage though with different actors.

The Return 2006 8/10

Slow going but enjoyable film that is beautifully shot

When I Am Dead And Gone (Kad budem mrtav i beo) (1967) 8/10

Tomboy (2011) 8/10

Sleeping Beauty (2011) 6/10

Peremirie (2010) 7.5/10

The Spectator (La spettatrice) (2004) 6/10

I resaw Top Hat (1935) yesterday evening. Friedrich Austerlitz and Virginia McMath were at their best in this classic Israel Baline musical. (better known as Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers in this classic Irving Berlin musical).

I resaw "I was a male war bride" (1949) yesterday. Another Howard Hawks screwball comedy with Cary Grant, with Ann Sheridan in the Katherine Hepburn/Carole Lombard role. Cary Grant in drag was quite a sight

Girl With A Suitcase (La ragazza con la valigia) (1961) 8.5/10

Cars 2 (2011) 5/10

The Dead 8/10

Bit of a slow burner week this week

Really enjoyed this film though

Little Red Flowers (Kan shang qu hen mei) (2006) 6/10

Julia's Eyes (Los ojos de Julia) (2010) 4/10

For a moment I thought you had been watching The Dead (1987) which was John Huston's last film.

Skinning (Sisanje) (2010) 6/10

Crazy Stupid Love (2011) 6/10

My Tehran For Sale (2009) 6/10

Before The Revolution (Prima della rivoluzione) (1964) 7.5/10

Pleasant Days (Szep napok) (2002) 6/10

If you don't already know this, you need to read this Daily Mail article.

The lead actress of this film was sentenced some days ago to a year's imprisonment and 90 lashes for appearing in this film

I read about that before i saw the film 

5 Fingers (1952) 8/10

Everybody Dies But Me (Vse umrut, a ya ostanus) (2008) 8/10

A Beautiful Life (Mei Li Ren Sheng) (2011) 8/10

30 Minutes Or Less (2011) 4/10

Jackass, I've amended your link for 5 Fingers, so in my posting the link now works.

I remember reading the book "Operation Cicero" over 30 years ago - the book on which this filmed was based, then saw the film years later. A classic film. James Mason was one of the best English film actors and was always worth watching whether in mainstream films or less well known films. He seemed prepared to take risks in some of the films he was in, films which other actors might have been reluctant to appear in. I'm thinking of films like Odd Man Out, Pandora and the Flying Dutchman and Lolita. I remember seeing one of his later films Age of Consent at the cinema. That was shown as part of a double bill with 10 Rillington Place. Of the 2 films, Age of Consent was far more enjoyable, particularly as it also starred a young Helen Mirren. Not a great film, but is notable for being the last feature film from Michael Powell. At that time, Powell had been ostracised for the best part of a decade following the mauling arising from Peeping Tom, and I doubt if many established film actors were prepared to work under Powell - with the exception of James Mason. Helen Mirren was right at the start of her film career.
