Ha sempre vissuto all`ombra dei suoi genitori, ha seguito fedelmente i loro insegnamenti religiosi, è sempre stato devoto alle sacre scritture, ma ora il giovane Darkly Noon è perduto. Sua madre e suo padre sono morti e lui si trova a vagare per i boschi. Qui incontra una giovane coppia, Callie e Clay, e si stabilisce a vivere con loro. In breve tempo Darkly sviluppa una morbosa ossessione per la bella Callie, un ossessione carnale, contraria a tutto quello in cui ha sempre creduto. Lui vuole quella donna, la desidera con tutta la sua anima in una discesa verso la follia.

IF YOU GO DOWN TO THE WOODS TONIGHT... Described by critic Mark Kermode as an "extraordinary filmmaker" and "one of the UK's most imaginative talents", visionary British director Philip Ridley followed his sensational debut The Reflecting Skin with another surreal incursion into the dark heart of the 'American dream' in The Passion of Darkly Noon. Darkly Noon (Brendan Fraser) is the sole survivor of a military-style attack on an isolated religious community. Stumbling through a forest in a daze, he is rescued by the free-spirited and enigmatic Callie (Ashley Judd). Darkly finds himself feeling strange new desires for Callie as she nurses him back to health... only to watch her jump into the arms of her returning mute lover Clay (Viggo Mortensen). Lost in the woods with only his fundamentalist upbringing to make sense of his unrequited passions, Darkly soon descends into an explosive and lethal rage. Now available for the first time worldwide on Blu-ray, Ridley's talent for spellbinding, hallucinogenic dream imagery is on full display in a glittering new transfer of his most formally inventive and electrifying film. The mesmerising soundtrack includes two songs co-written by Ridley for the film, "Look What You've Done (To My Skin)" performed by Gavin Friday and "Who Will Love Me Now?" performed by PJ Harvey.

wieso gibts diesen film hier nur auf italienisch? zum film: wunderbare schauspieler (allen voran brendan frasier, aber auch ashley judd und viggo mortensen überzeugen), geniale atmosphäre die irgendwie an die Beklemmung von the shining erinnert, die surrealen elemente und der schwarze humor könnte auch von david lynch sein, opulente bildsprache und: der regisseur hat anscheinend etwas für märchen übrig (aschenputtel-schuh?) haha. ausgezeichnet.

Einfach der schrecklichste Film, den ich mit Ashley Judd gesehen habe...
Die Spannung steigt und steigt, aber irgendwie konnt es nicht richtig rüber..

Wunderbare Kulissen und surreale, aber trotzdem realistische Charakteren. Um den Film interpretieren zu können, benötigt der Zuschauer eine dauerhafte Aufmerksamkeit, was den Film zu einem Erlebnis macht.

das cover ist schon das richtige. Der englische titel lautet THE REFLECTING SKIN. Die Angabe der Schauspieler ist jedoch auch falsch. Es spielen mit : Viggo Mortensen; Lindsay Duncan; Jeremy Cooper; Sheila Moore; Fraser Duncan.
falscher filmname, falsches cover?

nach den schauspieler und dem regisseur nach, sollte das eigentlich "die passion des darkly noon" sein. ein genialer streifen. für fans von lynch und spannenden psychothriller. man kann den film auf cede aber nur in der italienischen fassung kaufen. ??? hää, kapiert das jemand?
