4.0 out of 5 stars Powerful and sexy., 11 Oct 2002
By A Customer
As a huge Jeremy Irons fan I was thrilled to discover he starred in a film based on one of my favourate books, "Damage" by Josephine Hart. I odered the DVD that day and wasn't dissapointed. The story tells of a well off middle aged Dr turned politician with a beautiful wife and two children who believes himself to be perfectly happy until he meets the aloof and beautiful fiance of his son and discovers that he has never really lived. Those who like the french or european style of film making in general will love this film, the sex scenes are powerful and realistic and the characters are wonderfully cast. The film can be bare in places, the story line disturbing, but all in all it's definately worth watching. Those expecting a "Basic Instinct" style glossed up and expensively made sex thriller will be dissapointed, those who enjoy good acting, a good story line and an element of realism will not.

3.0 out of 5 stars Some fine acting - and Jeremy Irons, 9 Aug 2002
By Lovborg (London) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Damage [VHS] [1993] (VHS Tape)
You know how Jeremy Irons can be absolutely outstanding (Dead Ringers) or buttock-clenchingly embarassing (Stealing Beauty)? Well this performance belongs in the latter category: this tale of forbidden passion brings out all that is hammy in Irons and then adds some ham for good measure. The good news is that Miranda Richardson (who won an Oscar nomination for her role as Irons' wife) is astonishingly good - her final scene will stay in your mind for ever as one of the best, most truthful performances you are likely to see - and isn't alone: Binoche and Graves are both very good in thankless parts. Gymnastic and unlikely sex scenes apart, there are reaons to enjoy this film: but Irons' self-important and dull performance is a major draw-back.

5.0 out of 5 stars Scary, tragic, and creeping under your skin., 17 Jul 2000
This review is from: Damage [VHS] [1993] (VHS Tape)
I saw this film in a movie theater for the first time, two nights in a row, with a friend of mine. Both of us were utterly stunned, didn't speak for half an hour afterwards, and were left with the lingering feeling that yes, we've been there, done that, and escaped. The love of your life walks by, and you can't help yourself, are caught in circumstances you can never escape, you gamble, risk and lose everything. Both Irons and Binoche are excellent in this movie, to a fatal effect. Highly recommended!
