The War Zone (1999)

Possibly some French movie with Louie Garrel(Ma Mere). I mean, Hallam Foe has this foreign french instinct to it..maybe it has to do with the whole mother thing or something. It does have a dark, slightly disturbing richness to it. Yet Bell, is amazing at conveying that in his other films, too.I think thats what gives him this earthy/human appeal even in the Undertow. Hallam Foe has this unique sensuality a bit like Marc-Andre Grondin's Belle bĂȘte, La (French Canadian film).

It's not about voyeurism, but it's kinda similar in overall look/theme of growing and falling down, try to watch Igby Goes Down, similar funny independent movie.

Very similar to A Short Film About Love (and, more tenuously, Snow White and the Seven Dwarves - only because of a wicked stepmother).

reply

I was just thinking about Short film about love. I downloaded it having already seen the shorter version in the Dekalog and I remembered how similar it was Hallam Foe. Kieslowski was a genius.

reply

I would suggest Igby Goes Down too. It's not exactly the same of course, but a good film with a similar sort of optimistic ending

the humor seems comparable to juno. but i dunno, that's just me.

In some ways, I feel the movie reminds me of:

C.R.A.Z.Y. (2005)
Mysterious Skin (2004)
The Mudge Boy (2003)
The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys (2002)

If Jamie Bell's character had gotten raped by a guy while wearing his mother's wedding dress, maybe. *shudder* That movie still gives me the creeps.
