Review of The Intruder

The Intruder (2004)
6/10
Beautiful cinematography without hardly any dialog.
31 July 2010
Warning: Spoilers
If the running time was 30 to 40 minutes shorter , my rating would have been much higher.

125 minutes is way way too long. The writer/director Clair Denis must have forgotten that all the beautiful scenery & fantastic cloud effects are meaningless if there is no story to go along.

We have a middle aged man who had a recent heart transplant operation, who wants to find the man who gave him his new heart. We do see his overly vivid scar. HINT TO Ms Denis. Todays body scars are hardly visible. This I know for a fact.

That is a minor point. The film takes place in many locations BUT we are not told in most cases where the scenes are set.. .

I do disagree with most of the reviews this has received, It is no a great film nor is it a bad one. It is just an overly long bore.

One of the directors previous films was the excellent BEAU TRAIVAL.

Ratings: **1/2 (out of 4) 72 points (out of 100) IMDb 6 (out of 10)
