Product Description

Product Description

Frannie (Meg Ryan) is a lonely but determined woman living alone in Manhattan, who becomes involved in a murder investigation following the gruesome slaying of a young woman in her neighbourhood. It soon appears that she may know more about the murderer than she thinks, after witnessing what could have been the prelude to the crime. Drawn to the homicide detective investigating the case, she discovers the dark side of passion when she embarks on a risky and turbulent affair with him. But as the death toll rises, each victim getting closer to Frannie, she begins to wonder if her new lover is hiding a deadly secret.

From Amazon.co.uk

Based on Susanna Moore's novel, In the Cut centres on Frannie (Meg Ryan), an emotionally stifled English teacher who gets steamy with sultry Malloy (Mark Ruffalo), a cop who's investigating a series of brutal murders--but Frannie soon suspects that Malloy may be the killer. As a psychological thriller, In the Cut is heavier on psychology than thrills; the story is a skeleton that director Jane Campion cloaks in one of the most nightmarish visions of urban life since Taxi Driver or Seven, accompanied by lots of explicit sex. The movie's dark tone will put some viewers off, but Ruffalo's effortless magnetism serves him well; no woman in the audience will question how quickly Ryan falls into bed with him. It also features Jennifer Jason Leigh and Kevin Bacon (uncredited). --Bret Fetzer

Jane Campion's erotic drama/thriller is a very strange, but interesting, beast.

More of a character/relationship study than a thriller (the psycho plot is purely there to propel the characters along) it's an engrossing mix of the rough, the dark, and the raw with the sureal and the dream-like.

It looks great, sounds great, is well acted and is surprisingly frank, open and explicit. Not just in the blood and body parts, or the nudity and the sex (Meg Ryan and Mark Ruffalo both bare all for the cause) but also in the shockingly honest and raw dialoge where the sex is concerned. If the sex itself is not actually hardcore it's verbal description is.

The finale is a bit simple and rushed given the build-up and the style that has gone before, but all in all this is a solid, serious, well made, well acted, beautifully raw and open example of film-making for adults.

This works well, from its edgy opening to its thrilling end-point. I was uncertain about Mark Ruffalo in the main cop role, but he quickly became extremely watchable, and Meg Ryan was convincing as a teacher with a deeply felt want for male company. Meeting up with one of her students in a bar she goes down into the strangely ill-lit cellar to find the 'ladies' and is hypnotised by a long, (lovingly filmed) sex act taking place, the man's face in shadow, though she sees a very important clue to his identity.

Girls are being killed, their heads and other parts cut away and one body turns up in her garden. She is attracted to the cop in charge of the case, and it is not long before they are getting together. She both distrusts and likes him (and we've all been there), but then her sister is killed and the trauma she suffers is very well-played. Ryan does anguish extremely well. A cameo by Kevin Bacon is entertaining - he seems to turn up in almost every film I see.

The ending of this exciting and highly charged erotic novel (of the same name and by Susanna Moore) is changed for the film - and I am not surprised. It would be hard to justify any other decision, if you know the story's original ending. Not a cop-out but a timely avoidance of gore for the sake of it. Director Jane Campion knows what she is doing and there is dark psychological suspense enough to satisfy anyone.

In my opinion this is a great film with an excellent portrayal of a troubled and insecure main character (Meg Ryan), interwoven with a cleverly built and sustained murder thriller. The characters are all complex and believable so that you care what happens with them, and there are many nuances of the plot and relationships that only add to the film's success. I liked the dotty Meg Ryan in the early stuff but in this film I was very very impressed with her depth of characterisation and clear committment to as honest a performance as the story demanded. All the actors were exceptional and their acting very believable. The erotic scenes add to the story rather than as an end in themselves, and anyone buying the film just for these would miss the whole concept. 5 stars.

I'm surprised at the number of negative reviews this has had here: I thought it a challenging film which deliberately casts Meg Ryan in a role which cannot help but call-up the oppositional sub-text of sugary-sweet female characters she usually plays in happy-ever-after rom-coms.

Jane Campion responds to that genre that we are all so familiar with and subverts it in sometimes quite scary ways.

Perhaps one of the problems that so many reviewers have is precisely the way this crosses or resists genre boundaries: it's not a typical slasher-movei, or a police procedural, or a love story, or a film noir, though it references all of those in creating its own vision.

One reviewer here is very scathing about arty film students writing theses on this film and I think that's true (I'm not one of them!) - but that doesn't make it a bad film, just a brave and challenging one.

Jane Campion’s 2003 'serial killer thriller’ has certainly divided opinion, with most probably erring on the negative side. Is the film mere misogynist exploitation or a stylish ‘modern Hitchcock’? For me, I would certainly not categorise it (as in The Guardian blurb) as a 'lush, erotic masterpiece’, but it does have a number of strong positives, foremost among them being Meg Ryan’s remarkable performance as the mixed-up, guilt-ridden Manhattan English teacher, Frannie Avery. In fact, whilst the film’s direct (and explicit) take on female sexuality, fantasy and gratification makes for some 'uncomfortable’ viewing (particularly for us repressed males!), it is this theme (and Ryan’s stunning portrayal of it), over and above the film’s otherwise relatively formulaic 'killer whodunnit’ storyline, that is In The Cut’s most memorable (and original) feature.

Campion’s film portrays the urban milieu, in which Frannie and her (sexually) frustrated half-sister, Jennifer Jason Leigh’s Pauline exist, in an almost exclusively pessimistic light – in which 'titty bars’, sexism, homophobia and racism are rife. The film is also plastered with (arguably too much) symbolism – including 'state of the nation’ stars and stripes, dreams, falling blossom, wedding dresses and 'double-takes’ (hinting at premonition) in the dialogue, which work quite well as Frannie begins to suspect Mark Ruffalo’s '(very) friendly cop’, Giovanni Malloy, of being the local serial killer. Ruffalo is again good here – in an essentially unsympathetic, sexually forward, role – as is Nick Damici as Malloy’s un-PC sidekick, Richard Rodriguez. Less successful is Kevin Bacon’s (uncredited) role as Frannie’s obsessive ex – the character seems to have been included merely to widen the range of 'whodunnit’ suspects.
