Movie Reviews of Intersection
Movie Review: Very Classy Ending
Summary: 5 Stars
Note: This will allude to some spoilers.
One reason to watch this film is to see the beautiful pairing of Gere and Stone. (See also Gere and Kaprisky in Breathless: a stunning couple in the prime of their youth.)
However, there is far more to this movie than a slick presentation. Stone's cool blonde beauty is a little too icy, making the flame of the warm redhead (Davidovich) too hard for Gere to resist.
Sally and Olivia are poised and dignified when they meet, which encourages respect for the characters and an interest in following their story.
The eventual train wreck of a car wreck is tough to watch. The director uses slow motion to good advantage. Tragic as Vincent's demise is, we get to see his vision where he ends up with the girl, and Sally ends up with the guy of her choice. In a perfect world the ex will always lift a glass to his or her replacement, but how often does that actually happen? This makes for great cinema.
What really sold me on this film for good is the way that Sally and Olivia chose to keep their respective secrets in the end, each allowing the other to maintain her dignity and self-esteem.
All triangles should be this dignified and classy. All films should end on note this high and admirable.
Summary of Intersection
No Description Available.Genre: Feature Film-Drama
Rating: R
Release Date: 19-AUG-2003
Media Type: DVD
The temptation here is to make a joke about Intersection and dead ends--but this disappointing film has too much talent involved to kid about how wrong it went. Based on the French film Les Choses de la Vie, the film was adapted by the usually reliable Marshall Brickman (Annie Hall) and David Rayfiel (The Firm). Richard Gere plays a man caught between two women: his chilly, remote wife (Sharon Stone) and his vibrant young mistress (Lolita Davidovich). How the marriage declined, how the affair began, and how the two women's paths eventually cross--everything is seen in flashback after Gere's car spins out of control in a horrible accident. Director Mark Rydell has some of the squarest dialogue in recent movie history to work with, as he dissects how the marriage fell apart because of the wife's coolness and Gere's subsequent attraction to Davidovich's cocky young journalist. --Marshall Fine
