Here’s something I haven’t seen before – The Double Hour (La Doppia Ora), one of my favorite movies, is available through YouTube; $3.99 or $4.99 for HD.
Joshua Marston, director of Maria Full of Grace has been hired to write and direct a remake of this one; I wonder how he’ll mess it up?
The Italian version, the one with no real room for improvement, stars Ksenia Rappaport and Filipp TImi and was directed by Giuseppe Capotondi. It’s a psychological thriller about a foreign-born hotel maid that meets an ex-cop speed dating. It’s full of suspense and has a really blurry line between reality and nightmare that’s keeps the viewer guessing.
The remake is rumored to star Naomi Watts and Clive Owen and I’m already in a bad mood about the whole thing.
I don’t think this one needs to be remade. Watch it and see for yourself.
