*** This review may contain spoilers ***
After the rigorous and haunting 'La Captive' which was sourced in Proust, Akerman turns to Conrad with similarly mesmeric effect. This movie, set in somewhere around Malaysia, is about a European trader's troubled relationship with his mixed-blood daughter (who is everything to him, besides money perhaps). I love everything about this movie - the cinematography, the theatrical tone, Stanislas Merhar's rage-filled performance. I have to mention the seemingly interminable final sequence in which the camera is focused just on the face of the man sitting in a somewhat dark room. I can't forget the dejected expression on his face with his ghostly eyelids fluttering. The sunlight gradually illuminates his whole face and he complains - 'Le soleil est froid (The sun feels cold).'
