Rating: - This one grows on you...
Well, at least it grows on me. I like Philip Ridley's movies because they usually feature Viggo Mortensen, along with the kind of imagery that my brain produces on its own when it's feeling creative. Go into one of his films, and you're where the id and its lawless hankerings define the world and tell the story. You can best savor The Passion of Darkly Noon if you don't allow yourself to go all left-brained and analytical, because this is not a narrative wedded to factuality, and its psychological realism is selective.
I heard somewhere that Passion was filmed in the mountains of ... Read More
Rating: - A word of caution
A word of caution to those that have yet to buy this movie, there seem to be three releases out. American, Spanish and Russian. And all three have conficting run times. This one for example is only 100 mins, while the American release goes on for a whopping 146. The Russian is about 96. Why they differ is beyond me, and why they got cut is also hard to fathom.
Bottom line is check carefully before buying one of these editions, and if you buy an import make sure you're player can support PAL.

Written and directed by little-known, Phillip Ridley (The Reflecting Skin), 1995's "The Passion Of Darkly Noon" is an almost ethereal Grimm's twisted fairy-tale that turns quicky into spiraling jealousy, self-mutilation, pyschosis and death.
A confused young man, Darkly Noon (Brendan Fraser) stumbles into a forest clearing and is picked up off the road and taken to a farmhouse inhabited by a mute carpenter, Clay (Viggo Mortensen) and his beautiful but very hirsute lover, Callie (a Clorox blonde, hairy armpitted, scantily dressed and very sweaty, Ashley Judd).
Rating: - Powerful statement
The Passion of Darkly Noon is a strange, mesmerizing film that you can't help but get sucked into when you turn it on. It stars Brendan Frasier, Ashley Judd and an early role from Aragorn - Viggo Mortensen, sporting the same scruff and locks as he did in LOTR. The film is permeated with bizarre imagery, very much dream-like, as another review noted.
To me the film deals with the repression of feelings. Darkly Noon, the Brendan Frasier lead, was raised in a cultish Christian community which was pillaged by nearby townsfolk - they killed all of the cult, leaving only Darkly Noon alive. He ... Read More
