Passion (2012)

Passion: Directed by Brian De Palma. With Rachel McAdams, Noomi Rapace, Karoline Herfurth, Paul Anderson. The rivalry between the manipulative boss of an advertising agency and her talented protégée escalates from stealing credit to public humiliation to murder.

“u0026quot;Passionu0026quot; is a ridiculous remake of the great French thriller u0026quot;Crime du0026#39;amouru0026quot;. The screenplay uses the same storyline and has minors but significant modifications when compared to the original movie that spoils the movie. The scene of the murder of Christine in the original movie is unbeatable. The police investigation of the evidences is very poor in this remake. The conclusion is awful. The decadent Brian De Palma still uses split screen technique but without any brilliance. The two lead actresses of the original movie, Kristin Scott Thomas and Ludivine Sagnier, are wonderful and their duel is engaging. However, Rachel McAdams never convinces as an executive and looks like a vulgar woman. My vote is two.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eTitle (Brazil): u0026quot;Passionu0026quot;”
