Well this was...something. A weird yet amazing story that honestly I have no clear idea what it all meant. Antony Hopkins plays Coleman Silk, a college professor who throughout his life, has been a master of deception and self-reinvention. We see him as a promising young college student with his first love Steena and then as an esteemed professor whose career is ruined by false accusations while he also begins a scandalous affair with a younger, mysterious (strange) woman.
Nicole Kidman plays Faunia and is utterly transformed here, so well acted and Anthony Hopkins is (as always) very good too. It was interesting to see him in a romantic role, of sorts. I also enjoyed Wentworth Miller (in the same part) playing the young Coleman Silk. Sad to have to hide your heritage and I truly felt Silk's frustration with the whole "spooks" incident. 02/13
